# Practical resources to get started
Having investigated the three roles of local authorities (acting as a [landowner](/makingfarmlandwork/i.-acting-as-an-owner-and-manager-of-public-land.md), [facilitator](/makingfarmlandwork/ii.-acting-as-a-facilitator-of-the-local-land-system.md), [regulator](/makingfarmlandwork/iii.-acting-as-a-regulator-and-making-local-land-policies.md)), you are perhaps looking for some practical resources to get started with the land work. This section provides additional tools from a variety of sources, in particular:
* Ideas and summaries to [take your first steps ](/makingfarmlandwork/practical-resources-to-get-started/some-key-principles-and-first-steps.md)
* Surveying and [decision-making tools](/makingfarmlandwork/practical-resources-to-get-started/surveying-and-decision-making-tools.md)
*New material will be added in this section as the Access to Land network continues to engage with local authorities and to co-develop or adapt practical tools to make farmland work for the public good. Check in later for more resources!*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://accesstoland.gitbook.io/makingfarmlandwork/practical-resources-to-get-started.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
