Young Croatian farmers and other people can now apply for funding to buy a house to allow them to stay in rural areas and villages under 6000 population. Already 700 people have applied and received money from the government and matching funds from the municipality. #IFAJCroatia

There are about 156,000 farm holdings in Croatia. About 70% are subsistence or semi-subsistence farms. During a panel discussion at @IFAJ Congress discussion focused on what policies should be to make Croatian farmers and their produce have higher value. #IFAJCroatia

Learning about Croatian agriculture at the @IFAJ Congress in Osijek. This area is considered the breadbasket of the country. So many small struggling farms, but the rural area is changing and farms are getting larger. This farmer was seeding alfalfa. #ifajCroatia

Amazing story and photos. Could be repeated across the prairies.
Kyler Zeleny, a photographer and #UAlberta alum @uabpols, profiles his hometown of Mundare in his new book, Bury Me in the Back 40. In this story for @macleans, see how over the course of nine years he chronicles the decay of a small, rural Alberta town — and the community that persists: bit.ly/4dT7SfW

Am always surprised to see the Whissell Tower each time I drive past. Not something you see every day on the prairies.

So lucky to have Richard Ireland as mayor of Jasper. Such a calm person in this crisis.
"The pain that will be felt almost defies description — it's beyond comprehension": Jasper Mayor Richard Ireland on how the collective effort worked in vain even as the unstoppable wildfire bore down on the town, and how some residents don't have homes or businesses to return to.

Jasper Legion shared a picture of their building still standing, saying a fireman had the keys to lower the flag.
ALT We received this picture from one of our Jasper Fire Department members. They are so much a part of our hearts right now. One of our employees, also a Fireman had keys to the Flagpole and dropped the flag to half mast for our town and all those that have lost so much.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
