- Book Synopsis
- A conference co-hosted by the Lincoln Institute and the International Center for Land Policy Studies and Training (ICLPST) in Taiwan in October 2006 explored land-related topics that would be important between the present time and the year 2015, the target date to which United Nations member states have agreed for a set of Millennium Development Goals. This book compiles the conference proceedings and alerts policy and decision makers to the changing circumstances of how society views, values, and uses land. Technology is changing the way land is now managed and used; and the evidence of improvements in land records, agricultural technology, estimation of land values, and dissemination of information about land use is encouraging. Worth considering are the suggestions to examine land decisions within a framework of sustainable development, particularly regarding the sustainability of food supplies.
