The mission of the funder is focused on advancing sustainable agriculture through funding research, demonstration, and educational projects that encourage cooperation between agriculture professionals and farmers/ranchers.
The Youth Educator Grant projects aim to teach youth in the North Central Region about Sustainable Agriculture, focusing on practices that are ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible. The grants empower educators to inspire young individuals and their families to consider sustainable practices and view sustainable agriculture as a viable career path. By funding projects that allow youth to explore sustainable farming and ranching, these grants strive to demonstrate the profitability, community benefit, and environmental sustainability of these practices. The program encourages creativity and innovation in developing projects, with an emphasis on collaboration with local farmers and ranchers who apply sustainable practices.
