Kontekstualisasi
The bond between rural regions and urban areas is central to the smooth operation of our society. Rural areas are primarily tasked with food and raw material production, while cities act as hubs for consumption and the processing of these goods. For instance, the bread we enjoy at breakfast originates from wheat cultivated in the fields and is later baked at a city bakery. Acknowledging this connection is vital for appreciating the role of each environment and their mutual enhancements.
