Rural area with its resources, products, community, and culture is important even while in globalization era. The rural products are the most resources for human life. While, the uniqueness and local wisdom of rural areas have become a rich endless social resource, even for modern life. If we would like to develop human being and improve the urban and regional area, it is important to us also to learn and develop the rural area and its community as well.The Rural Research and Planning Group (RRPG) is an international platform for meeting and networking among those specialists/experts and practitioners in the field of rural development and planning to discuss, exchange of experiences, research findings and ideas, plan and organize activities for mutual benefit. It is based on volunteerism on the same interest on rural topic research, and development planning practices.
