'The Rural Economy in Cumbria' by Invest in Cumbria

Cumbria is an overwhelmingly rural County. Helping to support everything from food & drink and farming to tourism and energy, Cumbria's rural economy continues to strengthen despite suffering the impact of the Food & Mouth Disease outbreak of 2001. The Commission for Rural Communities and National Farmers Union give their take on why this is the case, while sheep fleece insulation company Second Nature and specialist hospitality suppliers Out of Eden, demonstrate how a rural location and access to markets have helped them thrive in a new and diversified rural economy.
