Abstract

In this paper the relationships between change in farm occupancy and changes in the farmed landscape are examined by reporting on evidence collected from an in-depth resurvey of farm businesses in three study areas in lowland England (West Dorset, East Bedfordshire, and parts of the London Greenbelt). The significance of ‘occupancy events’ in affecting land management and landscape change is indicated. Changes in land area, tenure, business structure, and decisionmaking personnel are assessed as being significant occupancy events which can promote management and landscape alteration. This suggests the need for more sharply focused conservation policy and advice which is tailored to the specific needs of the farm business.
