[The Land Is Ours]

WE WANT LOCAL SHOPS FOR LOCAL PEOPLE!!!!

Check out the latest issue of ECOS (A review of Conservation - the 
quarterly journal of the British Association of Nature Conservationists 
[BANC]), issue no.3, Volume 21. This issue includes articles: "The End of 
Agriculture" (Simon Fairlie) & "Time to campaign against Rural England" 
(Chris Rose).

This quarter's title is "Sticky money in the countryside", referring to the 
need for regeneration of communities via local economic activity generated 
by producers selling to the immediate area (e.g. farmers markets) coupled 
with the purchase of locally-sourced goods by the same producers, so that 
money is kept in the local economy(this applies to urban as well as rural 
areas).

Main featured articles in full: "The End of Agriculture"(by Simon from 
TLIO/Chapter7),
"Time to campaign against Rural England" (Chris Rose), "Bringing the land 
back home" (Sophie Poklewski Koziell), "Sustaining local food" (Charles 
Couzens), "Woods
that work: job creation in wood product businesses" (Andy Nisbet, "Green 
Gateway - connecting wildlife with real life", and "Managing the right to 
roam" (Charlotte Mansley).
Of additional interest to activists, there features an article entitled 
"Between a rock and hard science: exploring the environment through 
performance", written by Bronislaw Szerszynski & Sue Weldon, on the 
conference 'Between Nature: Explorations in Ecology & Performance' - a 
collaboration between the Centre for the Study of Environment Change and 
the Department of Theatre Studies held at Lancaster University in July 2000.
