    Makoce agriculture development is developing a new and comprehensive model for a sustainable local food system that will support good health and create new economic opportunities on the pine ridge reservation. This 5-year project will include community education and training, network strengthening and securing access to and building on tribal land to create community food centers. This will be done through five initiatives that will work across sectors and in partnership with one another to build an interconnected regenerative local food system. The ultimate aim of this work is to advance tribal sovereignty in the region by supporting tribal leaders and communities to build their own systems for wellness and modes of self-determination.

  15. The Wellmark FoundationDes Moines, IA 2023

    As one of our initiatives, we operate a food systems institute. With the goal to increase community involvement as an integral part of the regenerative local food system we are working towards creating. The regenerative poultry program works to provide education for aspiring families and producers and to provide hands-on training for first time poultry producers. We are starting with poultry because we believe poultry is a starting point for family engagement as it creates access to the larger food system, we are building. Participants in this program range from high school students to elders. They go through an 8 week course hosted by our team in which they learn about local food system design and development, poultry production, and mobile poultry processing units. Then at the end of the course they operate their own square foot chicken system. Each participant (as well as their family members) are involved with raising their own food and saw the process from beginning to end.
