Since 2014, IATP, in partnership with the Jefferson Center, has hosted Rural Climate Dialogues (RCDs) in five Minnesota counties. Our new report provides an overview of each community’s recommendations and actions and shares lessons learned. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a worldwide health crisis, upending day-to-day life, destabilizing the global economy and impacting international politics. This ever-evolving tragedy will greatly impact our food systems, federal food assistance programs, farmers and farmworkers, ranchers and fisherpeople, and food producers.

As the repercussions of the pandemic unfold, IATP will continue to respond to emerging challenges, publish our work and share our partners’ efforts on our COVID-19 page.
