 abstract = {After the German reunification the agricultural
development of eastern territories
seemed to have picked up its pace. Yet the
main problems those territories are facing
today hatched already in the mid-1990s. In
our study we address the problems and challenges
that hinder sustainable development
of East German rural areas. We analyse agricultural
statistics and describe the structure
of agricultural enterprises, land-use,
and other critical dimensions of agriculture.
We discuss pros and cons of modern rural
areas spatial planning policy and take a critical
look at the current status of rural areas.
We also put forward a number of concrete
proposals aimed at the development of the
area and counteracting the negative trends it
is now experiencing. Even taking into account
all ‘positive’ development trends that
are postulated to have occurred since the
unification, we underline the crucial necessity
of diversification of labour forces and of
changing the spatial planning policies in the
rural areas of East Germany.},
