Defra’s rural programme focuses on the outcomes of the Government’s social and economic policies in relation to rural people and places.
Our aim is to ensure that the evidenced needs of rural people and communities are addressed effectively through mainstream public policy and delivery.
This is about working constructively within a national policy framework which recognises that all communities are different; and which is increasingly designed to give local areas the flexibility to respond to local circumstances and needs.
