What You’ll Learn

  • Urban Agriculture Strategies
    Get equipped with practical knowledge about urban agriculture, addressing the unique challenges and opportunities associated with growing food in urban environments

  • Community Food Systems
    Explore the dynamics of community food systems, understanding the importance of local food production, distribution, and consumption

  • NRCS Opportunities and Programs
    Get insights into the various opportunities and programs offered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)

We want to empower you to navigate NRCS resources effectively, and promote sustainable agricultural practices and environmental stewardship. ​

If you are confident as a producer or future producer, then Arkansas can be confident about the future of its food.

We are depending on you after you depend on us to provide the technical assistance you need to make great things happen in agriculture and the environment.

Why We Do It

In the face of climate uncertainties, these practices that you will learn with these workshops will help farmers and gardeners to thrive as stewards in conservation and local food production. By becoming, or supporting local farmers and markets, small-scale agriculture bolsters the economy, creates jobs and fosters community engagement. The emphasis on conservation ensures that these benefits are not only immediate but also extend to future generations, laying the groundwork for a more secure and resilient food landscape in Arkansas.
