A third of people living in rural areas face poverty, despite the fact that most of them are in work.
And that's not all that's worrying. People in their thirties are moving out of the countryside as house prices nearly double and wages are not keeping pace rising 17 percent slower in rural areas than in urban areas. That's according to the National Housing Federation. On Farming Today This Week, Charlotte Smith visits Exmoor to explore this issue further. This programme investigates the impact of a lack of affordable housing, the funding system for smaller schools and the importance of transport services in rural areas. Presented by Charlotte Smith and Produced by Anna Varle.
