| Summary |
"There is a rich and extensive history of research into factors that encourage farmers to change their land management practices, or inhibit them from doing so. Yet this research is often under-utilised in practice. Changing land management provides key insights from past and cutting-edge research to support decision-makers as they attempt to influence or assist rural communites adapting to changed circumstances, such as new technologies, new environmental imperatives, new market opportunities or changed climate."--Cover |
