There is no 'natural' countryside left. All of it is managed in some form or another SOR.
Part of my degree is finding the balance between conserving and utilizing the space.
It is all a question of sustainability, not farming too intensley and trying to use natures resources wiseley etc etc.
But, if growing food in a small village, there will sureley be some arable agricultural land there, if not then try to live off the land etc etc.

And yes, I am very sensible now! It's too much hard work and stress, forced to grow up.
Jade, you can be quiet! You cost me �4 in credit!

SOR, Ash, I assume you've heard of Thomas Malthus? he theorised that with a finite amount of land, only a finite amount of food can be grown therefore only a finite populace can be sustained. depressing i know but it makes one wonder how he would view our reluctance to eat seasonal produce preferring to fly food from around the world with the environmental cost therein. I really want the village!
