In the beginning of the CB-PAR process, we identified the frequent environmental and economic disruption that impacted food security and built trust with partners through sharing agroecological ideals and developing a vision for the next steps of the process. Next iterations of the cycle included partnering with the <em>Campesino-a-Campesino<\/em> program; key results included seed banks, forums with farmers on agroecology and the re-localization of food systems, and investing into cooperative-led grain storage and redistribution centers with connection to local centers. Recent collaborations focused on designing dissemination materials and drafting the agroecology and food security component of PRODECOOP\u2019s 10-year strategic plan.
