Linking Rural and Urban CED
Resources and Links
Rural communities once had a vibrant local agricultural economy that
created jobs though innovative enterprises. By linking rural and urban CED
initiatives together we unfold innovative solutions to recreating this
vibrancy. Community kitchens, community gardens, the great food box and
the consumer supported agriculture and country fairs in both urban and
rural areas can prosper through collaborative efforts.
