The development of Scotland's first Land Use Strategy offers a landmark opportunity for you to have your say on the way Scotland’s land is used for generations to come. How can Scotland produce enough food, develop its renewable energy capacity and protect its iconic landscapes and habitats? That’s why the Scottish Government is inviting you to attend one of the discussion workshops for developing the Scottish Government’s Land Use Strategy. A full, statutory consultation on the draft Strategy will follow later this year, but we are keen at this vital early stage to shape the draft with your help. 
Senior officials from the Scottish Government or Scottish Ministers will attend each event, and explain the work underway on the Strategy. The discussions will focus on the key issues to be addressed in the Land Use Strategy, offering the opportunity to bring different perspectives to the debate. Key points from the proceedings will be recorded and summary notes posted on the website; this material will be used to develop the draft Strategy.
