Montana State University (MSU) is Montana’s state land grant institution that operates a full College of Agriculture with an Extension service. With NAAF funding, MSU will develop a program to promote resilience among Tribal food systems through mental health promotion, community gardening and agricultural education to provide culturally tailored education to expand and enhance agricultural knowledge, skills and interest among all generations of Tribal community members. In addition, MSU Extension will provide personnel at four Montana Indian reservations to enhance their food security by utilizing local, Native youth produced livestock products as the initial platform in which to strengthen local food systems.
