Just Rural Transition

The Just Rural Transition initiative (JRT) brings together food producers, governments, businesses, investors, civil society, rural and indigenous peoples to champion people-centred solutions to food systems challenges. We aim to transform food systems by catalysing policy reform and mainstreaming food, land use, justice, equity, and rural livelihoods at the centre of efforts to realise sustainable development goals and the Paris Agreement. The JRT Secretariat is housed within Meridian Institute, with funding from the UK Department of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
