Community Economic Development / Rural Diversification Initiative

 

Rural Diversification Initiative (RDI)

Diversification is one of the most important rural economic development strategies for the 21st century. In order to achieve this diversification, we need entrepreneurial people with a creative approach and a clear vision for a sustainable future. So, where will we find these visionaries and their ideas? Right here. Rural Alberta is already home to all the innovation and drive we need – all we have to do is encourage it.
