The Native American Agriculture Fund has extended the date for their survey. Please take the survey. It will take less than 5 minutes!

The Native American Agriculture Fund is conducting a research study to gain a better perspective on the issues of food insecurity and hunger in Tribal households as a result of COVID-19. This survey will be available for the next four weeks, closing on Wednesday, March 31st, 2021.
