Mission
The Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships work to sustain Minnesota's natural resource-based communities and industries by addressing community-identified agriculture, natural resources, and tourism issues in partnership with the University of Minnesota.
Three core goals shape the work of the Regional Partnerships, and form the basis on which we evaluate our effectiveness. These goals are:
- to build and strengthen effective relationships between citizens, communities, and their University of Minnesota;
- to promote active citizen leadership in strengthening the long-term social, economic, and environmental health of greater
Minnesota; and
- to invest in research, education and outreach projects that advance the understanding and achievement of regional sustainability.
