PARSHALL – The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation (MHA Nation) were scheduled to hold a groundbreaking ceremony today for Native Green Grow (NG2), a greenhouse project near Parshall.
Self-contained, climate-controlled greenhouses will grow vegetable produce from heat and electricity generated by converting captured gas from oil wells that is currently being flared, as well as, utilizing electricity from our dedicated WAPA allocation.
NG2 is a food sovereignty initiative that creates environmental stewardship by reducing the amount of flared gas on Fort Berthold while creating a stable food system and economy for our nation by growing our own healthy, accessible and fresh food.
