| Description | MAIN STREET PROJECT'S SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE PROGRAM WORKS TO REDUCE RURAL POVERTY, IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH, REDUCE THE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE FROM AGRICULTURE, AND DIMINISH THE WORST EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH THE WIDE-SCALE ADOPTION OF A SYSTEM OF SUSTAINABLE, ENTREPRENEURIAL AGRICULTURE THAT PROMOTES EQUITABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDES ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW FARMERS- MANY OF WHOM ARE IMMIGRANTS- AND GIVES RURAL RESIDENTS ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, HIGH QUALITY, LOCALLY-GROWN FOOD.IN 2012 OUR PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHED THE FOLLOWING:-CONDUCTED TWO ADDITIONAL SPANISH-LANGUAGE AGRIPRENEUR TRAINING SESSIONS FOR 14 PARTICIPANTS; MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRICULUM FOLLOWING EACH SESSION BASED ON PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK AND TRAINER EXPERIENCE. -BECAUSE NATURAL FREE-RANGE POULTRY PRODUCTION IS ONE COMPONENT OF AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM, THE LAST TRAINING CLASS INCLUDED AN INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION OF THREE SPECIFIC CROPS THAT THRIVE IN COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS, ARE PART OF THE ETHNIC FOOD TRADITIONS OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY, AND CAN UTILIZE POULTRY MANURE AS FERTILIZER: GARLIC AND ONIONS, DRY EDIBLE BEANS (PINTO AND BLACK), AND SMALL SHORT SEASON GRAINS.-BUILT FOUR BUSINESS INCUBATOR SITES FOR TRAINING GRADUATES.

TOPICS INCLUDED CHALLENGES THEY FACE IN THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES RELATED TO JOBS, INCOME, HEALTH, EDUCATION, LANGUAGE, AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES - ESPECIALLY AS THEY AFFECTED THEIR CHILDREN. THEY ALSO DISCUSSED THEIR MOTIVATIONS AND HOPES FOR WANTING TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY AS FARMERS. TOP PRIORITIES WERE HAVING ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD AND HAVING MORE FAMILY TIME. -STRENGTHENED COLLABORATION EFFORTS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE, INCLUSIVE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SYSTEM - INCLUDING ST. OLAF AND CARLETON COLLEGES, THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA INITIATIVE FOUNDATION, THE CANNON RIVER WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP, AGSTAR FINANCIAL SERVICES, AND THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP. THE FOCUS OF THESE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS IS EXPANDING THE SYSTEM AND NUMBER OF PRODUCERS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE PROFITABILITY FOR PARTICIPANTS/NEW FARMERS-AND TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR AN INCLUSIVE REGIONAL FOOD HUB. | Description |
