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.
