Amy Stratton is the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy's Rural Communities Organizer. She works to find viable solutions to economic and environmental challenges rural communities face. "In the Field" is Amy's blog from her travels throughout the Midwest.
Not only is it spring and time for crops to grow, but the Rural Communities Program at IATP is also growing. Welcome Garat and Christopher!
Garat Ibrahim, Rural Somali Organizer, will build connections among rural Somali communities in the upper midwest and work toward strategies for their long-term success in this region. IATP's newest rural organizer, Christopher Mosel, will work with youth in Midwest communities and assist with rural community organizing.
Watch for future blog posts from our new Rural Communities staff.
