'...it is handy to have a collection of useful papers in one place, in easy reach for quick reference.' Area (Journal of RGS with Institute of British Geographers)
Descriere
The articles in this volume are grouped around three areas: agriculture and food, the rural, and rural governance. They combine empirical material with conceptual argument and are largely drawn from research conducted in advanced economies so as to provide some commonality of experience allowing the transfer of ideas between what otherwise might be seen as very differing geographical contexts.
