Welcome to FernCast, the rural development podcast from the Future Economic Rural Network. In this episode, host Daniel Rad is joined by Ian Merrell from SRUC, a leading expert on rural affairs and development.
Following the recent UK election that saw Labour come to power, Daniel and Ian discuss the potential implications for rural areas across the country. They explore the new government's plans for devolution, community asset ownership, and how these compare to Scotland's ongoing land reform efforts.
From the challenges faced by diverse rural communities to the impact of large-scale land purchases by financial institutions, this episode offers a timely and insightful look at the changing landscape of rural Britain.
