The Rural Reconstruction Association (RRA) was a British agricultural reform movement established in 1926 with Montague Fordham as its Council Secretary, a post he held for 20 years.
[1] It sought to standardise prices and produce grading, regulate imports and encourage more of a balance between agriculture and industry which, it argued, would benefit both sectors by ending over-reliance on manufacturing.
[1] Their 1936 document The Revival of Agriculture attacked modern economics whilst praising what they saw as the more realistic approach of Elizabethan times, where financiers were servants of producers rather than masters.
They argued that this system could be returned by controlling imports and so allowing domestic agricultural produce to reach a higher value.
[3] A revived agricultural sector was also presented as being central to national well-being as it would encourage fresh organic produce.
