Rodgers Christopher. Agricultural Law. Bloomsbury Publishing,2016. — 914 p.. 2016

Agricultural law has undergone major changes sine the last edition was published in 2008. The volume of environmental legislation applicable to agriculture has continued to grow, and the European Union’s Europe 2020 reform process has led to further changes in the land use controls introduced through the common agricultural policy. The chapters in Section 111 (land use) have been substantially remodelled to take account of these changes. The chapters on farm tenancy law have also been revised to take account of legislative changes and case law, and also to reflect the continuing work of the Tenancy Reform Industry Group – for example the introduction of new model clauses for farm tenancy agreements in 2015. Where relevant, the text seeks to integrate consideration of land use controls with the law of land tenure - so that, for example, the chapters on farm business tenancies and agricultural holdings include discussion of the impact on the drafting of farm tenancy agreements of the introduction of the basic payment scheme in 2015, of changes in the various agri-environment schemes that have taken place since 2008, and of the implications of changes in planning law and pollution control.
