Last farmer meeting

My organization organized a farmer consultative meeting for urban agriculture legitimization today.

It was also my last meeting as project officer here.

Good energy, lots of discussions, constructive dialogue between government agriculture people and the farmers. The feedback about the strategic plans will be presented at the bigger stakeholder meeting coming up soon.

I actually didn’t think this meeting would happen when my two supervisors and I discussed it three months ago. It was too risky. It could have been too controversial and ruin all the work we’ve been able to do. I was surprised when I brought it up again a month ago that my supervisor gave the go ahead. I’m so relieved it turned out well.

I’m going to miss this place.

A lot.

Too much, maybe.
