Shaped over centuries, European agricultural landscapes are under unprecedented pressure from new development, agricultural practies, urbanisation and the enlargenet of the European Union. This volume presents the results of the Eucaland Project, a multidisciplinary research programme that addressed these issues. Through studies on landscape description, history, classification, policy and planning in thirteen countries, it considers how European agricultural landscapes express a common cultural heritage, and suggests how this heritage can be transmitted to future generations.
