Growth from the Grassroots: Agricultural Awareness Week

Farming men and women have shaped the evolution of agriculture and technology in North Carolina for generations. From its roots as an agricultural experiment station, North Carolina State University has been interwoven into this evolution through teaching, research, and extension work that has supported local farming communities and organizations. Partnerships between NC State and the small farmers of North Carolina have pioneered innovative approaches to sustainability through times of major change, from the early industrial revolution through today.

In honor of Alpha Zeta's annual Agricultural Awareness Week, this exhibit of NCSU Libraries archival materials will showcase local farming practices and home-grown agricultural organizations in North Carolina to tell the story of the people who cultivated and developed our state.
