"This monograph summarizes the results of the project "Modelling
current and future supply and demand of agricultural land in Galicia.
Development and testing of a geographic information system
with multicriteria analysis in four Galician districts".
The project was the result of an agreement between the
Regional Ministry of Economics and Industry,
the Sociedade Anónima para o Desenvolvemento Comarcal de Galicia
and the University of Santiago de Compostela, and was carried
out between 2007 and 2009." Among the editors of this book
there are two members of the Land Laboratory (LaboraTe).
The scarce mobility of the land market in Galicia is a structural
flaw directly related to the abandonment of agriculture
and thus to severe social, environmental and economic consequences:
forest fires, rural depopulation, and the lack of viability
of many farms are all issues related, in some way, to it.
