Case study “From polarisation to blur…� Rural estates are stepping up to define 21st century land management
John Varley

Abstract
Progressive rural estates with scale and scope are well placed to contribute positively to the agendas of the future, a future which is likely to be volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and certainly far more exciting than the recent past. Debates about climate change, energy and food security are changing perceptions as to the value of land and how it is managed. For those providing public goods the opportunity is to better quantify what is provided and to gain recognition and a fair return for their delivery. The objective is to demonstrate that rural estates have a critical part to play in the achievement of both public policy and market ambitions. In short, their time has come again.
