Example text

For the reader of this report it is important to keep in mind that the broad sense of “rural policy” used here is unlikely to correspond to the national perspective. While we do not provide a specific definition of rural policy, the sense in which it is used in the OECD is the set of policies and programmes that help improve the economic and social well-being of rural residents.
