Abstract

Rural Wales is currently experiencing a period of profound upheaval and structural change. The strategic policy framework being shaped is driving forward a new model of sustainable rural development, based upon making the best use of available resources to meet new social needs. At its heart, this model is seeking to transform agriculture away from a narrow role as producer of raw materials, to a 'multi-functional' role whereby it is capable of satisfying society's demands for quality food production, environmental stewardship and rural leisure activities. Simultaneously, however, the familiar pressures of agricultural restructuring, globalisation and modernisation continue to squeeze key elements of the rural economy. As a result, rural areas are having to strike a balance between a range of competing forces ± dependency and sustainability, marginal agriculture and quality food production, community decline and regeneration, specialisation and diversification, global and local, 'top-down' and 'bottom-up', and competition and cooperation.
