Life in rural Britain has changed beyond recognition since the
beginning of the twentieth century. Through dramatic events, such
as the ban on hunting and the outbreak of mad cow disease, and
through the growth of the organic movement, changes in farming
practices and increasing rural poverty have all had an effect on
how we view the countryside and the people who live there. Through
an examination of the historical background to some of the main
controversies, the authors explore the key elements of rural life,
including the varying responses to animal disease during Biblical
times to the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, the
relationship between farming methods and landscape preservation, as
well as organic farming, the role of the European Union and the
truth about the Countryside Alliance. Throughout, they address the
thorny question of whether the countryside can still support a
rural population. This is essential reading for anyone with an
interest in contemporary and historical rural life in Britain.
