Plan (to boldly go)
1. Uncover Interdisciplinary Investigations
2. Re-discover the rural urban fringe :
3. Share Fringe Stories– Opportunity spaces – Agriculture in the
fringe
4. Learn lessons

Interdisciplinary Investigations
reluRural Economy andLand Use Programme
• Rural Economy and Land Use Programme. • Joining up the pieces
– “enables researchers to work together to investigate the social, economic, environmental and technological challenges faced by rural areas.
– ......... encourage social and economic vitality of rural areas and promote the protection and conservation of the rural environment
The Relu programme

• Research team perspectives of the rural urban fringe.
land use in 21 C • Forgotten space • Urban-centric or
rural centric space? • Contested
stakeholder views • Reactive or proactive
space.
