NSF-EPSCoR Delta Project Team and Alliance of Sustainable Farms Host Field Day at MSU North Farm

September 20, 2024

The NSF-EPSCoR Delta Project Team, Alliance of Sustainable Farms, and partners held a field day at Mississippi State University’s North Farm. The Alliance is a growing network that supports a new generation of Mississippi farmers and promotes sustainable practices. Through the Alliance, small farms benefit from shared resources such as education and technical assistance.

The field day’s agenda focused on diversification for small-scale farmers, with presentations, demonstrations, and group discussions on specialty crops. MSU faculty members also gave an outdoor tour of the A.B. McKay Food and Enology Laboratory and its new greenhouses and research facilities undergoing construction.
