Meet Tara Lynn Clapp – NRDN Team Policy Fellow

The Natural Resources Development Network is committed to exploring, understanding, and sharing knowledge around the  multitude of factors influencing the sustainable management of natural resources, particularly as it relates to the rural regions who rely so heavily upon these industries.

Our core areas of focus are:

    • Food & food security,
    • Climate change,
    • Rural communities, and
  • Industry and trade,

These areas of focus are considered alongside cross-cutting themes of land, water, energy, and governance & policy. We invite any and all participation from interested individuals and organizations.

The NRDN has successfully funded the following:
Literature Reviews & Knowledge Briefs

Policy Briefs & Recommendations

Conference Support

WEBINARS

Recordings of all of our webinars can be found on the RPLC YouTube channel.  Visit the site to see all of the rural related webinars or check out some of the NRD-related webinars below.
