| Popis: | Swedish efforts to retain farmlands are part of a more comprehensive policy to enhance the economic viability of the family farm. Aside from the containment of urbanization, which is accomplished by a number of planning tools, farm rationalization is the major element in Swedish policy. Rationalization, which has generally meant the creation of larger individual farms, has allowed the family farm to achieve certain scales of economy and take advantage of technological innovations. The key actor in the rationalization and containment process has been the country agricultural board, a creature of local government with unique and comprehensive powers to regulate land markets, extend credit, provide technical advice to farmers, and organize and manage farm amalgamation. |
