People move away from the countryside: Which term?

When residents, farms and facilities disappear from the countryside, space is created.

So we have alot of space left?

The question is: How to set it up?

3 options! Which?

Read in your book: give the three options to set up the countryside in 2050. Answer the question short! Please number your answers with 1).. 2)....3)

Option 1: distribution policy

• Fewer residents, farms and facilities in the countryside.
  
• More empty space to solve the housing shortage
• Moving homes to the cities

Suburbanization or decentralization -> spread homes, jobs and amenities more evenly across the country.

Option 2: Futureproof agriculture

Making agriculture future-proof:

• Less intensive agriculture: more nature, environment and animal friendly production.
• Generating sustainable energy

Benefit?

- birds and insects have a greater chance of survival

Next slide: Video - write down 3 ways to make farms future proof!

Option 3: move agriculture

Land-dependent agriculture:

Concentrate in the most suitable areas (with fertile soils)

non-landdependent agriculture:

To business parks around cities

For example: vertical farms

Disadvantages
