Desc	Rural Education Action Project remained committed to on-the-ground grassroots organizing of the agricultural community through farm visits, listening sessions, surveying, and ongoing dialogue to gain a better understanding of this communitys evolving needs, and to provide support as we can. We continued to offer a robust schedule of peer-to-peer educational workshops and exchanges that uplifted agroecological practices and celebrated our small-scale farmers. We worked with the agricultural community to advocate for scale-appropriate programs and policies that contribute to a farm and food system that is healthier, more resilient, and viable. We strengthened partnerships and worked collaboratively with organizations and movements at the local, national, and international levels toward our shared goals.	Desc
