Local Authorities Making Farmland Work for the Public Good

Why this handbook?

Local action is key to a regenerative future. This handbook offers guidance for officials and staff of local governments on how to make a difference in the way agricultural land is used and shared, for the benefit of people and the planet. Packed with ideas, tools, and field-based examples, it hopes to inspire and enable many authorities to take action across Europe to protect farmland and make it work for the public good.
