Landcare is now about 20 years old. During its first decade it evolved in Australia, and independently in Germany. During the second decade it found resonance in many other countries around the world. This book has covered the story of Landcare as it evolvedin a number of these countries. It is the first account of Landcare as an emerging phenomenon at the global level. Such a history could not have been written even a fewyears ago, since this progress has been so recent. However, this volume could only partially document the story of Landcare. The unfolding developments in many other places have not been included, for example Landcare in the Pacific Islands, Sri Lanka,the Caribbean, Canada and the UK. Although this history is incomplete, it has answered one prominent question: IsLandcare relevant to, and adaptable to, the world’s vast landscape of ecosystems, farming systems, and social, economic, and political conditions
