This book provides a cohesive set of research statements on
critical related issues in British rural geography, as well as
echoing the priorities identified by an influential figure in
British rural geography, Richard Munton. This book demonstrates
that the rural world needs to be seen in a far wider perspective
than that of agriculture/ food production, in order to comprehend
how resources are being appraised and exploited in new ways, and to
respond to the pressing challenges of sustainability for the
decades ahead.
Chapters adopt a time perspective to explore a series of key
themes:
- the rise of productivist farming
- ways of conceptualising agricultural change
- the evolution of landownership and property rights
- rural and urban agendas for nature conservation
- the gap between policy and action for sustainable
development.
The final set of chapters is devoted to policy-related issues
associated with agricultural change and the profound challenge of
rural diversification for the future. The last chapter traces the
prominent career of Richard Munton.
