Katie King

My area of focus with Nebraska Extension is the Regional Food Systems Initiative, which includes fruit, vegetable, and edible specialty crop production. I will communicate and interact directly with local producers to create and deliver timely educational resources and programming in my accountability region (and statewide). I will help to build environmentally and economically sustainable businesses; to prepare producers for changing economic and atmospheric climates; to increase yields, decrease inputs and optimize IPM strategies; and to increase the knowledge and awareness of consumers and youth.
