Rural Futures Themes
What are the opportunities and challenges for rural areas and towns? Their amenities, natural resources, lifestyles, and recreation possibilities are in high demand. Cultural ideals are promoted in rural areas and act as a foundation to draw new people and ideas to these areas. However, there are also many challenges: economic activities can be limited, distances challenging, and ecosystems blighted by resource extraction.
How can such dilemmas be reframed? Is it a matter of providing infrastructure, structuring governments, increasing services, or developing sustainable practices? Are there new approaches to reframing the rural?
Other rural themes to be addressed in this issue can include:
•Business retention and expansion
•Rural emergency services
•Arts and culture
•Agriculture and sustainability
•Resource based economies
•Rural health care
