rural settings
Where farms thrive
Rural settings are countryside or agricultural areas, as distinct from cities and suburbs.
The phrase appears frequently in research, policy, and fiction to describe environments characterized by low population density, farmland, or natural landscapes: The study compared health outcomes in urban and rural settings.
It functions as a stock phrase for discussing where things happen outside metropolitan areas.
