Key people at Community CROPS.
Community CROPS is a Lincoln, Nebraska-based nonprofit organization that provides education, advocacy, and hands-on agricultural experiences to help local residents grow sustainable food. To support its urban agriculture and food security initiatives, the organization operates a network of physical sites, which currently includes 11 community gardens, three training farms, and one production greenhouse. These facilities host specialized programming such as the Youth Gardens initiative and the Growing Farmers Training Program, serving beginning farmers and community members across the broader metropolitan area. The nonprofit collaborates with regional partners and advisors to support its daily operations, including the University of Nebraska, the Southern Heights Food Forest, and soil microbiologist John Doran. Operating under the leadership of Executive Director Ingrid Kirst, the community-focused agricultural organization was originally founded to establish its first garden site in 2003.

Community Crops operates several interconnected initiatives:
The organization specifically targets food security for refugees, immigrants, and low-income people in Nebraska[2]. Rather than generating profit, Community Crops reinvests all donations into program participants in Lincoln[1].
If you're interested in analyzing Community Crops from a different angle—such as its role in the nonprofit sector, food systems innovation, or community development—I'd be happy to provide that analysis instead.
