Empowering our islands through education, innovation,
and regenerative solutions for a healthier CNMI.
In a strategic move to strengthen the Commonwealth’s food system and expand economic opportunities for local farmers, Northern Marianas College’s Cooperative Research, Extension, and Education Services-Agriculture Production program is cultivating seven new sweet potato varieties for eventual commercial distribution in the CNMI.
Seven scholars from the CNMI let their voices be heard as delegates and facilitators at the National 4-H Conference in Washington D.C which took place from April 11 to 16, 2025. Through workshops and roundtable discussions on topics like mental health, digital literacy and resilience, and workforce development, the students proudly represented the CNMI and shared their islands’ perspective on national issues.
