Fruit and Vegetable Gardening Programs

veg-gardeningLocal production of fruits and vegetables is important to the citizens of Kansas, from home gardeners to commercial producers. As part of a dynamic industry, our faculty and staff work with extension agents statewide to provide homeowners and industry members with relevant information for their project.

Local food promotion efforts include:

  • Survey regarding barriers to marketing local fruits and vegetables
  • Research comparing consumption vs. production of fruits and vegetables in the Kansas River Valley
  • Collaboration with Kansas Local Foods for selling local food
