It gives a graphic picture of the complexity of the interactions which are necessary if rural interests are to be properly looked after. Go to RuSource summary breifing and link to main report. RuSource briefings provide concise information on current farming and rural issues for rural professionals. They are circulated weekly by email and produced by Alan Spedding in association with the Arthur Rank Centre, the national focus for the rural church. |
