THE ARKLETON TRUST
1997 Seminar on Rural Development
A Brief Synopsis
TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED RURAL POLICY FOR THE UK
The 1997 seminar was organised following indications that there could be radical changes in EU agricultural and regional policies as we enter the new Millennium. It followed the strong pointers issued at the European Conference on Rural Development 'Rural Europe - Future Perspectives' (The 'Cork Conference') held in November 1996.
The seminar focused on the implications of such changes for the UK, and included participants from development agencies, land use agencies, government departments, LEADER groups, NGOs and Universities in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales. It was chaired by Professor Howard Newby, Vice-Chancellor of Southampton University and facilitated by John Bryden. A report of the meeting was written and copies are available from the Arkleton Trust office in Oxfordshire.
