Land Use Strategy for Scotland

Scotland's Land Use Strategy aims to manage land sustainably by balancing environmental health, economic growth, and social wellbeing. It encourages responsible farming, forestry, conservation, and development to enhance natural landscapes, support local communities, and foster resilient ecosystems. The strategy promotes integrated planning, reducing land conflicts, and ensuring land is used efficiently to benefit both current and future generations. It emphasizes adaptability to climate change, rural development, and the protection of important habitats, all while maintaining Scotland’s natural heritage and supporting sustainable growth across the country.
