Globalization and Rural Change

Globalization is the process where countries become more connected through trade, technology, and culture, leading to increased interaction worldwide. Rural change refers to the transformations in countryside areas, such as improvements in farming, infrastructure, and access to services. Together, globalization influences rural change by introducing new ideas, technologies, and markets, which can boost local economies or sometimes challenge traditional ways of life. This interconnectedness means rural communities are increasingly affected by global trends, shaping their development and evolution in a rapidly changing world.
