| In North Dakota, a professional development workshop on organic vegetable production was planned during a 2006 SARE presentation and roundtable discussion with the Immigrant Development Center. Held in 2007, the workshop focused on providing information that extension educators and non-profit educators need to work with new immigrant communities interested in growing and marketing organic vegetables.
