Abstract

ABSTRACTThe impacts of Brexit on rural England will be far reaching, although only the impacts on agriculture tend to be considered by researchers and by government. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities which Brexit presents for renewal of rural policy in England. Rural policies remain rooted in the immediate post-war context but the rural economy is no longer synonymous with agriculture, and rural society and the institutions of governance have each been transformed over the past 70 years. International evidence from social scientists suggests that an approach conceptualised as ‘networked rural development’ would be more effective at promoting the prosperity and well-being of citizens in rural areas, and the elements of such an approach are taken as a basis for a practical agenda for reforming and updating rural policy.
