Essays have been specially commissioned to examine key aspects of public policy relevant to rural America in the new century.The following sections provide the structure: -- Who Lives in Rural America Today?-- A Transformed Rural Economy-- The Rural Community: Is It Local? Is It a Community?-- People and the Environment: Tough Trade-offs in an Era with Vanishing Buffers-- Changing National and International Policies: New Uncertainties and New Challenges-- Challenges Become Opportunities: Trends and Policies Shaping the Future
