rural policy for the 21st century

The Carsey Institute has developed a small initiative focused on Rural Policy for the 21 st Century. As a foundation for Carsey’s ongoing work in rural policy, especially policies related to working landscapes, the Institute is developing a white paper for the Ford Foundation that will include a scan of selected rural programs in different regions of the United States. This project will provide an overview of trends and conditions in rural America, and identify nonprofit organizations and intermediaries using innovative development strategies to help rural families and communities cope with economic hardship and profound change.
