Sowing Seeds of Local Abundance

Sowing Seeds of Local Abundance:  A Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation Agricultural Enterprise and Farmer Training Feasibility Study project analyzed local agricultural economic opportunities. It also assessed how the Tribe’s farming and food economic growth strategies can help transfer tribal food culture through generations. Potential future farmers, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and its citizens, Smith River food entrepreneurs and residents, and regional institutions, are all identified beneficiaries. This research was funded by a USDA Local Food Promotion Program Grant. 

Ultimately, Sowing Seeds of Local Abundance studied how a Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation agricultural enterprise can provide much-needed farming and food economic opportunities to residents of the greater Smith River area, detailed in the resulting feasibility study and business plan. A report summarizing the results of this research is below.
