Le secteur agricole est en crise, les infrastructures des zones rurales sont inadéquates et nombreux sont ceux qui ont du mal à se loger à un prix abordable. Depuis peu, la polémique s'articule également autour des problèmes écologiques liés à l'utilisation massive d'engrais et de pesticides, au développement des cultures transgéniques, et aux sites d'enfouissement des déchets nucléaires. La réputation des agriculteurs a été ternie par la crise de la maladie de la vache folle et par le spectre d'une épidémie de la forme humaine de la maladie. Enfin, la question de la chasse à courre au renard divise l'opinion et des groupes de pression tels que la "Countryside Alliance" s'opposent à toute réforme de ce type de chasse et accusent le gouvernement de vouloir se faire le fossoyeur des traditions rurales.Un panorama unique de l'anglais et du français > countryside
