This Federally Recognized Tribal Extension (FRTEP) project seeks to enhance the frame of mind, knowledge, skills, and behavior of the Navajo Nation agriculture producers of all ages. Established in 1995, FRTEP has been on the Navajo Nation, and delivering of intensive training, technological adaptation, agri-business projects and development of food policies. During the next four years, the Shiprock Cooperative Extension office will encourage producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices which are attainable through intensive training and technology provided through the FRTEP Project and collaborative efforts with Federal Agencies and Educational Institutions. The Shiprock Extension office will help producers develop agri-business projects and to address food security within tribal community members in the surrounding area. Programming and Extension services will be developed specifically to cater to Navajo Tribal Members. New activities include initiating pilot projects for agri-businesses, establishing focus groups to address food security on the Navajo Nation, and supporting the development of food security policies. The Navajo-Shiprock FRTEP agent is also a tribal member, and hence, able to develop unique, culturally-specific programs that are beneficial to the Navajo Nation. This includes integrating cultural beliefs and Native language into food and agriculture programs and the 4-H curriculum. The Shiprock Extension office partners with other professionals from the U. of Arizona, other universities, and Tribal and Federal programs to provide our community members with direct access to technical experts. By leveraging the resources of Tribal, local, state, national, and international networks, we further the impact of the Navajo-Shiprock FRTEP project.
