The Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative (IFAI) is dedicated to Tribal food sovereignty and advancing traditional foods. With NAAF funding, IFAI will create an Indigenous Food and Agriculture Law program that will specialize in educating its learners about the unique legal issues that Indigenous producers see firsthand daily. They will also continue their annual Native Youth in Agriculture Leadership Summit which will offer 50 beginning farmers and ranchers 100 hours of agriculture education and policy training pertaining to capital access; and provide both classroom and hands on learning experiences in conservation, land stewardship and natural resource management for beginning Native farmers and ranchers.
