Rural Areas
Posts in this category are about Rural Areas, which can be defined as agricultural areas or simply less densely populated areas. It is possible to encourage economic opportunities in rural areas while preserving the health of ecosystems by supporting sustainable forms of agriculture, forestry, and tourism. Protecting key areas from development and providing continuity of land ownership will maintain the character of rural areas. Also, establishing beneficial market links with nearby towns and cities will help keep ownership of land resources broad-based and local.
