Haskell University's Greenhouse Complex: A Leap for Indigenous Food Sovereignty

About this episode

Haskell Indian Nations University launches a new Greenhouse Educational Complex aimed at promoting Indigenous food sovereignty and land stewardship.

Haskell Indian Nations University unveils new Greenhouse Educational Complex, focusing on land stewardship, food sovereignty, and restoration projects. The complex includes a larger greenhouse, learning center, and hoop tunnels for hands-on experience. An eighty-acre land donation in western Douglas County, rich in diverse ecosystems, is set for prairie restoration, farming, and regenerative ag. Partnerships with Kansas State University and the University of Kansas offer real-world research opportunities for students. The six-year burn plan for nearly one hundred forty-three acres of campus land aims to restore fire-dependent ecosystems, boost biodiversity, and clear invasives. Food efforts have expanded from simple raised beds to feeding the dining hall with homegrown crops. Funding from a Department of Education Title III grant will complete construction by late this year or spring next, enabling Haskell to expand degrees and collaborate with other tribal colleges for lasting impact.
