Possible Questions Include:
- How do the Scottish and Welsh approaches to land use integrate and support wider government targets on issues relating to the environment?
- How does your work intersect with the land use agenda and what international, national, regional and local regulation and other guidance you deal with on a regular basis?
- What role can multi-functional approaches play in delivering better outcomes for nature and society?
