Center for the Study of Rural America Shares Five Lessons – Is Montana listening??
On the occasion of its fifth anniversary, the Center for the Study of Rural America reflects on five key lessons it has learned about rural development.
These include:
1) Globalization is forcing most rural areas to build new economic engines;
2) Regional approaches are essential in rebuilding rural communities;
3) Regions must find a niche that plays to their strengths;
4) New governance and new partnerships are needed; and
5) Government policies for rural areas need to look beyond agriculture and focus on promoting innovation and growing entrepreneurs.
