520			_aReport on the changing face of the British countryside. Suggests that modernising the agricultural industry has had several negative impacts on the countryside, such as creating a cavity between society and the farming community, a loss of wildlife, woodland and heritage, and pollution from modern farming techniques. While diversification of the rural economy will help farm incomes, there is concern that it may jeopardise the distinction between town and country. Looks at the ability of the UK farming industry to compete on the global market and discusses the countryside of the future, referring to the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, biodiversity and strategic land management plans.
