Abstract
The AERU published its first report on smallholdings in Canterbury in 1993. The present report extends that research by using a random sample survey and thereby updates our understanding of this very important phenomenon. The report covers basic descriptive information, land use, general attitudes and motivation. It also compares lifestylers with farming-oriented smallholders. Results will be of interest to people involved directly in smallholding by showing them what people are doing on their land. The report will also be of interest to policy makers responding to the planning implications of the effects of the growing number of smallholdings.
