"Eating Biodiversity: An Investigation of the Links Between Quality
Food Production and Biodiversity Protection"

.............

The rural landscape of England has been greatly transformed over the past
few decades, and this particular research initiative based at the
University of Newcastle was created in order "to investigate the social,
economic, environmental and technological challenges faced by rural
areas." Visitors to the site should note the main divisions, which
include "Research", "Events", and "Publications/Press". For researchers
and scientists, the "Publications/Press" area will be a special treat,
as it features briefing papers, annual reports, and their policy series.

The topics covered here are quite diverse and recent paper titles
include "Eating Biodiversity: An Investigation of the Links Between
Quality Food Production and Biodiversity Protection" and "The Role of
Regulation in Developing Biological Alternatives to Pesticides". Policy
practitioners and others working in the areas of land use planning and
rural economic development will want to return to the site and check up
on future developments, and it may even help those looking at
comparative studies in these areas. [KMG]
