This approach has been adopted in Britain since the 2000s, for example through the idea of “mral mainstreaming” (Shortall and Alston, 2016, OECD, 2011).1 It is also evident in Finland, in its cross-sectoral Rural Policy Committee. As discussed in Chapter 1, the ways in which mral areas are defined is therefore particularly important for the design of such interventions. In aiming to integrate different sectoral policy interventions, broad mral policies may address geographies beyond just mral.
