本文探讨了威尔士议会政府决定重组威尔士农业环境计划资金的潜在影响，并提议从 2012 年 1 月 1 日起引入新的全威尔士格拉斯蒂尔可持续土地管理计划。本文所依据的研究于 2010 年 1 月启动。该研究涉及来自威尔士蒙哥马利郡一个县的精选农民，旨在确定 Glastir 的变革将如何影响他们的农业业务和实践，并最终实现可持续农业产业。蒙哥马利郡位于威尔士的中心地带，以传统的家庭农场为代表，是实现可持续农业的重要结构。该研究最后严厉警告称，Glastir 可能不“适合目的”，威尔士议会政府应重新考虑其决定。
The paper examines the potential implications of the Welsh Assembly Government's decision to restructure the funding of agri-environment schemes in Wales with the proposed introduction, from 1 January 2012, of the new All Wales Glastir Sustainable Land Management Scheme. The research on which this paper is based was initiated in January 2010. It involved a selection of farmers from one Welsh county, Montgomeryshire, being engaged, aimed at establishing how the change to Glastir will impact upon their farming businesses and practices and, ultimately, the achievement of a sustainable agricultural industry. Montgomeryshire, which is set in the heart of Wales, is typified by the traditional family farm, being an important structure for achieving sustainable agriculture. The research concludes with a stark warning that Glastir may not be ‘fit for purpose’ and that the Welsh Assembly Government should reconsider its decision.
