Excerpt from New Product Development for Economic Growth in Rural Areas The President in October 1963 appointed a Rural Development Committee of Cabinet members and agency heads with Secretary Orville L. Freeman, usda, as Chairman, to bring the full force of the Federal government to bear in support of local rural areas development efforts. Representatives of a number of agencies collaborated in preparing this report on New Product Development for Economic Growth in Rural Areas for the Committee. The Committee approved the recommendations to various agencies on December 7, 1964. Names of agencies and publications have been brought up to date as of October 1965. The report is published so that the background material and suggestions made may be used by community development groups, persons assisting them, or persons interested as individuals in undertaking new product ventures.

This book investigates the role of wealth in achieving sustainable rural economic development. The authors define wealth as all assets net of liabilities that can contribute to well-being, and they provide examples of many forms of capital – physical, financial, human, natural, social, and others. They propose a conceptual framework for rural wealth creation that considers how multiple forms of wealth provide opportunities for rural development, and how development strategies affect the dynamics of wealth. They also provide a new accounting framework for measuring wealth stocks and flows. These conceptual frameworks are employed in case study chapters on measuring rural wealth and on rural wealth creation strategies. Rural Wealth Creation makes numerous contributions to research on sustainable rural development. Important distinctions are drawn to help guide wealth measurement, such as the difference between the wealth located within a region and the wealth owned by residents of a region, and privately owned versus publicly owned wealth. Case study chapters illustrate these distinctions and demonstrate how different forms of wealth can be measured. Several key hypotheses are proposed about the process of rural wealth creation, and these are investigated by case study chapters assessing common rural development strategies, such as promoting rural energy industries and amenity-based development. Based on these case studies, a typology of rural wealth creation strategies is proposed and an approach to mapping the potential of such strategies in different contexts is demonstrated. This book will be relevant to students, researchers, and policy makers looking at rural community development, sustainable economic development, and wealth measurement.
