Today we honor Edna Rodriguez on her last day as RAFI’s Co-Executive Director. For thirteen years, Edna has led with vision and resolve — expanding support for small and underserved farmers across North Carolina, the Southeast, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She strengthened RAFI’s financial and organizational foundations and ensured resources and decision-making moved directly into farmers’ hands. We thank Edna for her leadership, courage, and unwavering belief that all farmers deserve fairness, voice, and choice.
