“…The motivations of a diversifier are often dependent on a complexity of other variables. Reasons for farm diversification have been quite well documented (e.g., Ilbery 1988b; Evans & Ilbery 1989;Kelly et al, 1992), where common motives include the external imposition of limits on traditional farming, family employment (where family life-cycle stage is important), personal interest and the utilization of available resources. Such factors may also be important in non-farm led rural diversification.…”

Rural change in developed market economies is no longer strictly synonymous only with agricultural restructuring. In the current economic climate, many rural areas may be seen to consist of a number of different competing factions, comprising traditional agricultural, ‘new’ agricultural and non‐agricultural interests. In the past, geographers have tended to study farm diversification and rural industrialization as separate, isolated fields of research. Whilst these foci are of merit, a more holistic conceptualization of rural change is now required. This paper defines the concept of ‘rural diversification’ and offers an agency‐structure conceptualization as a framework for analysis. It is suggested that such structured conceptualization is required for a more informed understanding of the process of rural change in the United Kingdom.

In 1956 in an international symposium at Princeton on the theme Man's role in changing the face of the Earth, one of the principal contributors, Carl Sauer, reflected that as much as anything it was a festival of remembrance to George Perkins Marsh. Marsh was perhaps the inspiration for viewing man within his natural world, within his ecological setting, but a setting which had evolved as much as anything by the actions of his own hand as it had been by natural agents. Marsh's great work Man and Nature, has been dubbed ‘the fountainhead of the conservation movement.’ Thus Sauer suggests that this study is based on man's:
