Activity: Talk, evidence or presentation types › Oral presentation

Description

The first in The Scottish Land Commission's 'Natural Capital and Land' series will look at our recently published report on what is happening in Scotland's rural land market. Chaired by Scottish Land Commissioner, Sally Reynolds, the panel included one of the authors of the report, Steven Thomson from SRUC, who was joined by Faye Gonzalez, Savills; Prof Deb Roberts, James Hutton Institute; and land reform campaigner Andy Wightman. The panel explored what is happening in Scotland's rural land market, why and the implications for not only who owns Scotland's land but who is able to make decisions and who benefits from the land.
