Abstract or Summary:

Never in the history of agriculture has there been such a debate about how we should best use our land resources. That debate is not confined to rural commentators; it is a subject regularly discussed throughout society and in political circles. There is no doubt that our limited, and finite, land resources will become increasingly challenged in terms of producing sufficient food for our burgeoning world
population; the advent of bio-fuels simply adds to those pressures. It is also inevitable that we will need to develop ever greater yields, using shrinking resources and do that in a way which impacts least on our environment. More research and the effective application of existing knowledge, are both key necessitiesf we are to address these issues effectively.
