Welcome

The Rural Geography Research Group facilitates and promotes research on rural land use, the environment and related socio-economic issues, with particular reference to the countryside of the UK. These aims are achieved by:

• holding regular national and international conferences, meetings and seminars of discussion and evaluation (see Calendar page for latest conference details)
• maintaining contacts with rural geography research groups in other countries, including joint conferences and meetings publishing research results presented at conferences
• supporting PhD research into rural topics through specific training events as well as research-based meetings
• establishing links with other research and policy groups that have interests which coincide with those of the RGRG members
