New partnership will boost agricultural education for Arizona Indigenous students.

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) has partnered with the Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) to provide Indigenous students in BIE schools with culturally relevant agricultural education. The partnership aims to empower Native communities and support Indigenous farmers and ranchers. The curriculum will cover topics such as Indigenous agricultural history, leadership, and plant science. Additionally, the partnership will support the Indigenous Foods Hubs project, which promotes healthy nutrition education and culturally appropriate food preparation. The educational resources will be launched at BIE-operated schools in Wingate, New Mexico. [Extracted from the article]
