This week we hosted the National Science Foundation (NSF) team for our 6 month site visit. We had great conversations around what our engine has already accomplished and got clarity around where we are headed. A huge thank you to our Governance Board and Workstream Leads that participated in the site visit and a special thank you to our hosts, Bismarck State College, Wozu and United Tribes Technical College. #NSF #farmsfeedstheworld #fmwfchamber #gfmedc #GrandFarm #ndtribalcollegesystem #ndsu

Last night, FARMS CEO Hollie Mackey spoke to the attendees of the NDSU Foundation President's Dinner and encouraged them to 'Imagine' the outcomes that are possible with the work we are doing to solve for food security. #NSF #farmsfeedstheworld #NDSU #GrandFarm #fmwfchamber #gfmedc #ndtribalcollegesystem

With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, our food production needs a 60% increase to meet demand. FARMS is leading the way in building resilient, sustainable food systems. By integrating Indigenous agricultural knowledge with cutting-edge technology, we’re fostering innovation and closing the gap to feed future generations.

Partnerships and Collaboration are the themes for this week! We got to spend time with our good friend Tim VanReken with Headwaters Tech Hub, connect with the Ames Regional Economic Alliance and leaders from NextGA. We also had the opportunity to speak in front of the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce (FMWF Chamber) members AND co-emcee #AutonomousNation! Grand Farm did a fabulous job with the speakers, panelists and start-ups. Darcy Cook spoke about the need to produce more food for a growing population; Tempest Droneworx? said Food security is national security; and we got a shout-out from Noel Anderson, so the work we are doing is resonating! #NSF #FARMSfeedstheworld #GrandFarm #NDSU #GFMEDC #FMWFChamber #ndtribalcollegesystem
