Landscape and biodiversity changes within agricultural scope, which are the main issues of our interest, have been shown in the most dynamic way during last 50 years. Traditional extensive farming with individual farmer attitude to landscape was transformed to collectivisation with overall interest for land exploitation. During last years agricultural trends have been shifting again, towards environment friendly farming with aim to maintain natural values of the territory. The main milestones of historical changes in the landscape give us basic information to form and explore future trends in agricultural land, in 25 years perspective. Scenarios are defined by simple assumptions, which are easier to handle with. The essential idea is that each scenario defines a trajectory of change in terms of the structure of land occupancy, use and management and finally uncovers strong and weak points of future trends. Scenario evaluation counts also with stakeholder engagement, in the form of their understanding and feedbacks.
