Programs

Minnesota Project worked to make clean energy a reality in
communities all over the sate. The Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) project connects community leaders with the technical resources they need to get clean energy projects up and running all over the state. The MNP hosted a statewide conference of over 400 engaged leaders, helped coordinate a small grant project grant program, hosted the
CERTs webpage, and developed information used by people all over the state.
The Heartland local food program launched the Homegrown Heartland Marketplace website that serves as a one-of-a kind on-line tool to connect Minnesota Chefs to regional farmers and distributors. The goal of the website is to have more restaurant menus based on food that is available locally.
