Wakaga’s Agricultural Innovations on Tribal Lands
Combining Tradition and Technology to Feed the Future
Wakaga is transforming food systems on tribal lands through pioneering agricultural projects that honor tradition while integrating cutting-edge technology. These programs improve food sovereignty, public health, and economic resilience for Native communities.
One of Wakaga’s flagship programs is Lakota Greens—a geothermal greenhouse operation that grows microgreens and fresh produce year-round. These facilities are designed to work in harsh climates, providing consistent food access where grocery stores are scarce.
Wakaga’s agricultural strategy involves soil regeneration, water conservation, and sustainable fertilization. This aligns with traditional ecological knowledge and protects the environment while ensuring reliable crop output.
The food grown through Wakaga initiatives is distributed to local schools, clinics, and community centers. Surplus is sold to commercial buyers, generating revenue to reinvest into operations and youth training programs.
Wakaga also offers agri-business training to tribal members. Youth are taught cultivation, logistics, and entrepreneurial skills, ensuring continuity in food production leadership.
In partnership with federal agencies and tribal colleges, Wakaga has introduced controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), precision irrigation, and natural pest management systems. These tools are increasing yield while lowering costs and environmental impact.
Through these initiatives, Wakaga is proving that agriculture can be a foundation for sovereignty, health, and prosperity. It's more than farming—it’s a return to balance with the land and people.
