47. The Land Reform Bill: Progress or Pitfall?
Description
Land Reform in Scotland: Progress or Pitfall? Unpacking the Impact on Rural Communities, Climate, and Agriculture.
In this episode of the Scottish Land and Estates podcast, Cameron is joined by SLE Legal Adviser, Jackie McCreery, to discuss the Land Reform Bill and its potential to strengthen rural community rights.
They examine the complexities of the current legislation, its focus on large-scale land ownership, and the Bill's impact on climate goals. With a closer look at part two of the Bill, which covers agricultural tenancies, they explore its broader implications, including the possible negative effects on land transactions, security, and the rural economy. The conversation also highlights the need for a clearer vision for land reform and more incentives to encourage positive land management behaviours.
