Abstract
Every four years since 1991, a small group of rural geographers from Canada, the
United States, the United Kingdom, with guests from Ireland and Australia, have
met to present their latest ideas and research results. These meetings have also
contributed to the development of a community of scholars interested in wide-ranging
rural issues. . . . The intention of the 2011 meeting was to continue with the theme of sustainable
rural change but with a focus on development, including identifying policies and
programs used by agricultural sectors, and communities to respond to
restructuring. Thus, while there was overlap, we have placed papers into one of three categories: ‘agriculture’, ‘policy and planning’, and ‘community’. The
following overview provides a description of the work included in each theme.
