Britain's countryside is undergoing a radical transformation. As technology increases agricultural yields and European Community subsidies are restricted, much of our farmland will soon no longer be required. What we should do with this surplus land (perhaps as much as a quarter of the existing farmland) is one of the crucial environmental questions now facing us. This new development in agriculture comes on top of a profound long-term social change. Since World War II, as employment on the land has declined, farm workers have moved to the towns in search of work. At the same time, the accessible countryside has become peopled by commuters, whilst the more remote and scenically attractive areas have been increasingly occupied by second-home owners and the retired. These newcomers have brought with them substantially different expectations and requirements of the countryside and their presence is already having a major impact on rural services and amenities and on the infrastructure of village life itself. This book examines the various possible outcomes of these developments. With the help of a range of telling photographs, it considers the often competing views of farmers and foresters, environmentalists, conservationalists, the leisure industry, developers, planners and rural communities. For all who live in Britain's countryside and everyone who cares about a vital part of our heritage, this thought-provoking and superbly illustrated book will be essential reading.

As the first book in the Restructuring Rural Areas series, "Constructing the countryside" presents a new methodological approach to the analysis of rural change. The authors seek to link wider developments in the global political economy to the behaviour of local actors and, in so doing, they place research into rural studies much more firmly than hitherto in the mainstream of social science enquiry. The outcome is a book that promotes a truly interdisciplinary approach through which the constant "reconstruction" of the countryside can be properly understood. This holistic perspective, sustained by an historical analysis of rural change, has been made possible by the extensive research experience of the authors.; The book is a product of the work done at the London Countryside Research Centre, which was set up in 1989 by the Economic and Social Research Council. The Centre's research has focused upon the social and political forces for change in rural areas and how these relate to rapid alterations in national economic circumstances and to public policies affecting the countryside for example, the Common Agricultural Policy of the EC .; On the one hand, the book provides a set of insights into the trends that will guide rural change in advanced economies into the next century; on the other, it offers a challenging account of how they can be investigated.; "Constructing the countryside" will appeal to both students and staff in a wide range of social science disciplines, including agricultural economics, environmental management, planning, land economy, geography and rural sociology, and to all those concerned with the future development of rural areas.; This book is intended for students and researchers in rural planning and environmental/geographical studies, whether within a geographical or a sociological milieu.

Britain's countryside is in crisis, under increasing pressure from city-dwellers in search of a rural haven - whether as day trippers, weekend homeowners or full-time 'refugees'. What are the implications of this exodus for both urban and rural areas? The articles in this book examine the problems and suggest a wide range of solutions.

This White Paper aims to address the problems that are faced by rural communities which include issues relating to: housing and migration; community strength and services; economy; environment; regional variation; and public concerns. The chief areas of public concern are development issues and modern farming methods. The Government is allocating £1 billion over the next three years to rural programmes in addition to providing increased support for agriculture and the £1.6 billion for the seven year England Rural Development Programme. The paper sets standards and targets covering access to and delivery of public services in rural areas. The targets include services in health, education, libraries and information technology, employment and law. Planning and tax measures are proposed to address the shortage of affordable homes. A major part of the strategy is to make access to services less dependent on travelling but measures to improve mobility and safety are included in this paper. Support for market towns, Rural Development Agency programmes, ICT access and training is aimed at boosting the rural economy but economic development needs to be balanced against protecting the environment and maintaining the countryside as a recreational asset. Working in Europe to reform the Common Agricultural Policy and giving farmers opportunities for diversification are key measures to alleviate the problems faced by farmers. Progress on the White Paper targets will be monitored annually against a set of Headline Rural Indicators and other, more detailed indicators.

Faith and the Future of the Countryside offers up to date resources for theological reflection, preaching and practical action in response to issues affecting rural congregations and whole communities in the 21st century. Arising out of a conference marking the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Archbishops' report, Faith in the Countryside, this forward looking volume focuses on sustainability - environmental, economic, communal and ecclesial. Including contributions from practitioners in a variety of Christian denominations this is a resource book for clergy, church leaders and others in rural ministry to enable them to understand key issues in the context of mission and enable the church to respond to those issues through its prophetic voice and practical local actions. Topics included are the changing profile of rural communities, health and wellbeing, the politics of food production, the rural economy, the local effects of climate change, the pastoral mission of the rural church, spirituality and the countryside and more.
