dc.description	This paper outlines the recent changes and developments in the United Kingdom’s approach to rural policy. The economic consequences of the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease have negatively affected farming as well as other rural economic activities. In the UK, income from the traditional rural activity of farming has declined, leaving tourism as the predominant economic activity. Responding to this trend, the UK government has adopted a new approach to rural policy, apparent in the recent creation of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. In co-operation and partnership with Regional Development Agencies, the Department’s objectives are to maintain a sustainable natural environment, sustainable rural economies and communities and a competitive farming industry. To this end, it seeks to provide affordable housing, reliable transport and a range of rural services.
