There has never been a time of such widespread interest in the countryside - this book analyzes the pressures on the land, the requirements for the achievement of an efficient farming industry, the need to preserve the natural resources and scenic beauty of the countryside and the necessity of, at the same time, providing recreation for the 57 million people that live in Britain. Farming and the Countryside details the theory of farm conservation and how it should work, set against the background of modern farming practices and conflicting countryside interests. The material is enhanced by accounts of farms which have successfully pioneered conservation schemes.
