Forget vast landscapes – imagine lush green spaces thriving right in the heart of your city. Western Dakota Technical College (WDTC) is reshaping agriculture from the ground up, bringing fresh, local food production into the urban landscape through controlled environment agriculture. Their award-winning program isn’t just about harvest yields – it’s about building a future where sustainable food security starts in your backyard. Join WDTC faculty as they unveil their cutting-edge CEA systems, showcase collaborations with local, regional, and even international farms, and explore how they’re nurturing not just crops, but a generation of food pioneers. It’s time to redefine agriculture – one leafy green, one urban oasis at a time. This segment has been funded by a partnership between the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and SD Specialty Producers Association.
