Description
The unique characteristics, challenges, and aspirations of the local business base, and opportunities for community wealth building in rural and island communities will be examined. We will focus on understanding the role of economic infrastructure in prosperity and consider how future changes to agricultural support may impact on rural and island regions of Scotland. A 'Rural Exchange' platform will provide access to outputs and summary data.
