OUR IMPACT
Emergence Group is focused on supporting Tribal economic growth. We believe that if we foster success of entrepreneurs, and organizational and community leaders in economic endeavors, then Navajo and Hopi communities share greater potential for prosperity. What follows are strands we are weaving into community economic growth on the Navajo and Hopi Nations.
Impacts
1.A Report on the Status of Food/Agriculture as an Impactful Economic Sector
Early work by the Dine’ Policy Institute and others established a baseline for understanding the
nature and opportunities related to Food on the Navajo Nation. In 2019, we built upon these reports with refreshed survey input and a review of active policy and agriculture based operations. That report which is linked here began building of momentum toward a more robust Food/Ag economy.
2. A Food/Agriculture Collaborative in 2021.
Ten leading contributors to the Navajo Value Food System met and developed a
Shared Vision and Priorities for system growth. Annual work is contributing to making this vision a reality.
