Welcome to the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies 2012 summer school in Québec! We are very pleased with the enthusiastic response of students and faculty and are looking forward to showing you a small corner of this rather vast country. Our theme this year is “Governing Sustainable Rural Futures,” so we will be spending much of our time thinking about rural roots, organizations, and the ways we might get to sustainable futures. We will pay particular attention to the agents of change and the policies they consider, formulate, and challenge. Québec’s rural plan will serve as a common example for our consideration, but it will be your own experiences, research, and visions that stimulate the questions, guide the insights, and provide the comparative material for making informed choices. We look forward to sharing this adventure with you. Thank you for making the effort. Bill Reimer and Bruno Jean ICRPS 2012 Co-Organisers 1 Table of Contents 1. Program and Need to Know ... 3 2.
