Farm land rationalisation and land consolidation : strategies for improved land management in Eastern and Central Europe
Riddell, J. & F. Rembold
It gives FAO a special pleasure to be present with you today at a meeting like this that brings together so many of our technical colleagues to discuss changes in land administration in a Region with which FAO has worked since its founding. The radical changes that were needed in European agriculture in the immediate post WWII period in both the East and West occupied much of FAOOs early energies. How would farms be reconstructed, what size would they be, how would they be owned. The war had swept away most of the remaining vestiges of European feudalism and its landed aristocracy and what would remain would be dealt with during the post-WWII land reforms.
