Rural Environments Need To Adapt To Be Socially, Economically And Environmentally Sustainable
Übersicht
Almost three quarters of English farm businesses now earn money from something other than farming. A shed becomes a workshop, a field becomes a campsite, a roof becomes a solar array. That is diversification, and it is the clearest evidence that rural economies survive by changing.
This topic asks a harder question than 'what could be done'. It asks who does it, at what scale, and whether the result is genuinely sustainable across all three pillars: social, economic and environmental. You will work through diversification, a menu of sustainability strategies, and the very different roles played by governments, international organisations, NGOs and local communities in Cornwall and in rural Bihar.
