Webinar: Sustainable Agriculture at College of Menominee Nation

Frank Kutka

Agriculture takes place in ecosystems, from fairly intact to highly modified. Adaptation to climate is key to success in agroecosystems, and this success is also key to maintaining many ecosystem functions outside areas of food production. We will explore these relationships, the ways that they are considered by several Indigenous cultures, and how they are being embedded in the new Sustainable Agriculture degree program at College of Menominee Nation. 

About the Presenter: An NE CASC Principal Investigator, Frank Kutka is the Sustainable Agriculture faculty member at College of Menominee Nation, where he is facilitating development of the school's agricultural research program.  His training is in Field Biology, Animal Ecology, and Plant Breeding.  Kutka has coordinated the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program in the Dakotas, served as the Assistant Director at NDSU's Dickinson Research Extension Center, consulted with a number of farm groups and Tribal Colleges on seed issues, and led midwestern surveys of aquatic organisms and habitats for the University of Minnesota.
