With regard to the D-P typology according to rurality, it is hard to distinguish between the first three types (IA, IR, and PRA), in terms of the likely impacts of the three meta-narratives. This is in part a consequence of the fact that the IR category is very small (see section ). The impact of the Agri-Centric narrative will be mixed, since increased production efficiency will be offset by negative employment impacts and (poptential) environmental impacts of intensive systems. The relative importance of the Agri-centric meta narrative will be relatively low here, since (with some exceptions in the PRA category).
