Annual Reports
How we steward resources and build equitable, resilient local food systems.
Building Transparency, Measuring Impact
Each year, The Ag & Food Lab publishes an annual report to share how resources are stewarded, how programs grow, and how our work strengthens local food systems.
These reports reflect our commitment to accountability, learning, and community-centered impact — from land access and infrastructure development to food access and farmer support.
