Federal Rural Development Policy Since 1972

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1993, vol. 09, issue 01

Abstract: In the last 20 years, rural life has witnessed a series of demographic, economic, and political changes that increased the complexity of rural problems and the difficulty of implementing proposed solutions. The rural population expanded then contracted, the job base shifted, and five administrations alternated agendas. With the establishment in 1992 of the Rural Development Administration marking a new Federal commitment to rural development, a review of the past two decades may provide some perspective and context for new ideas and actions to come.
