Administrative / biographical background

The England Rural Development Programme was a programme of activities managed by the Regional Delivery and Communications Team and designed to contribute to the delivery of the Government's Strategy for Sustainable Farming and Food by helping farmers and foresters to respond better to consumer requirements and become more competitive, diverse, flexible and environmentally responsible. It also provided help to rural businesses and communities which needed to adapt and develop. The programme provided a framework for the operation of separate but integrated schemes which furnished opportunities to protect and improve the countryside, to develop sustainable enterprises and to help rural communities to thrive. A total of £1.6 billion of EU and UK Government money was made available under these schemes in England during the seven years of the programme (2000-2006).
