Future land use is all about coordinating the long-term and the short-term, public and private interests, the economy and the environment. It is ultimately a matter of democratic choice and must engage a wide public debate. There is a need for experimentation and demonstration in how to integrate agri-environment factors in a whole farm approach - to date studies have concentrated on just one or two dimensions: whether water quality, water supply, soil erosion, run-off and drainage, aquatic biodiversity and terrestrial biodiversity and techniques such as buffer zones or minimal tillage or rotational fallow.
