1.   How can we protect the countryside for future generations?

2.   The open countryside will be protected, but recreation and nature conservation will be encouraged.

3.   The countryside would be protected further by the reduction of inputs used in intensive farming, and there would also be a net saving of energy.

4.   The RSPB applauded the scheme on the grounds that farmers should only benefit from European subsidies if they were prepared to join schemes which protected the countryside.

5.   The report is aimed at cutting farm surpluses, reducing pollution, and protecting the countryside, while still allowing farmers to stay in business.

6.   So I invite you to join us and add your voice to that of The Ramblers and help protect the countryside.

7.   Erm the fourth advantage I would say is that it focuses on the balance between the need to promote rural enterprise and the need to protect the countryside.
