Increased population density, a rise in standards of living and improved, more widespread personal mobility have meant increasing competition for rural land use. The long standing primary position of agriculture and forestry as economic activities in land use is being slowly undermined.;The conference proceedings detailed in this study provide a comprehensive overview of the main issues, and take a tentative look at the options for the future. Growing competition between different interest groups has created a pressing need for a re-evaluation of current land use policy.
