Description

The overall mission of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College Sustainable Agriculture Research Station is to create opportunities and challenges for students to learn and work with staff, community members and Elders in a sustainable agricultural setting to increase access to healthy, nutritious food; thus improving food security and overall health in a low-socioeconomic tribal community. Education and research activities in a multi-generational learning environment will encourage community members to take ownership over where their food comes from. Community members will have access to land and resources for research, experimentation, and implementation of sustainable agricultural practices and products.
