Land economy
*** Shopping-Tip: Land economy
land (economics) Land Economics Economy is a multidisciplinary
subject becoming increasingly popular at
universities in the
United Kingdom. It is the study of
law,
economics, and the
environment in so far as they relate to
Land (economics) land usage and development. As such, areas studied include
property law,
planning law,
microeconomics,
deforestation, agricultural trends,
crop rates
farming and the economies of various lands, particularly in Western and Eastern
Europe. At present only the
University of
Cambridge and the
University of
Aberdeen offer this degree but the intense
competition for places has caused other universities to consider offering the degree. Professional land economists have generally not been given the publicity or recognition seen by those in other professions and there are currently no exclusively land economy firms, although many firms of
lawyers or surveyors perform parts of these functions. Many students of land economy undertake employment in the
agriculture industry, working as town-planners, surveyors, farmers, farmhands and manufacturers of agricultural equipment such as
pesticide or weed-killer.
