Who grows the food we eat? Who sows the seeds, tends the soil, picks the fruits and harvests the carrots?
Welcome to Letters From The Farm. This series is part of our Rural Resilience project which seeks to anchor rural policy in place-based realities.
These letters offer a window into what resilience and advocacy look like in practice. They remind us that transformation starts with the everyday choices people make to care for land, produce food, and build community.
Agroecology is not one fixed way of doing agriculture, rather it is a philosophy, set of practices, and way of engaging the land with many different techniques and strategies.

Interested?
Do you want to tell the story of your land, your farm, your farming – the trials and tribulations, the choices, decisions and conundrums through the seasons? if so, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s a one-off piece or more regular letter you could contribute, we’re seeking farmers from as many different backgrounds, farming practices and corners of Europe as possible. We want to shed light on the range of farming approaches and actors working with agroecology and to build rural resilience in Europe. Let’s hear from you!
Contact Louise Kelleher at louise.kelleher[at]arc2020.eu if you’re interested.
