本文将农村教育研究领域与其他农村社会科学和人文科学领域结合起来，提出农村区域可持续发展的概念。文献表明，由于不同的知识和价值体系，农村学校教育有时可能会违背农村社区的利益。通过对澳大利亚墨累-达令盆地社区对可持续发展的理解的调查分析，以及对同一生物区教育理由课程文件中可持续发展的内容分析，本文概述了如何经常使用相互冲突的含义。有人建议，这些含义可能会对农村社区的可持续未来产生不利影响，并可能使学校和社区的使命发生冲突。认识到可持续性是一个广泛的术语，通常以相互竞争的方式使用，文章建议农村区域可持续性的想法是一个积极的，面向未来的术语，可以连接学校和社区共同努力，以维持农村地区。
This article brings together the fields of rural education research and other rural social sciences and humanities to advance the notion of rural-regional sustainability. Literature suggests rural schooling may at times work against the interests of rural communities because of the different knowledge and value systems in operation. Through survey analysis of community understandings of sustainability in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia, and a content analysis of sustainability in the curriculum documents of educational justifications servicing the same bio-region, the article outlines how conflicting meanings are often in use. These meanings, it is suggested, can work against the sustainable futures of rural communities and potentially put the missions of schools and communities in conflict. Recognizing that sustainability is a broad term used in often competing ways, the article suggests the idea of rural-regional sustainability is a positive, future-orientated term that can connect schools and communities working together to sustain rural regions.
