Matte Wilson, director of the Sicangu Food Sovereignty Initiative, shows off seedlings which will be planted, harvested and then sold at the local farmer’s market. South Dakota State University researchers are partnering with Sicangu Community Development Corporation and the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation, to increase enrollment in science courses and to encourage students to pursue careers in science and agriculture. The project is supported by a five-year, $500,000 National Institute of Food of Agriculture grant.
