An innovative collaboration between two longtime KK&P clients—the Rhode Island Nursery & Landscape Association (RINLA) and the Rhode Island Food Policy Council (RIFPC)—allowed for the launch of a new interdisciplinary Associate degree in ‘Environment, Sustainability, and Management’ at the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI).

Adaptation, distribution, and, above all, partnership, are essential to small dairy survival.

The University of Rhode Island and Community College of Rhode Island are working with industry leaders to develop new courses, professional certifications, and a two-year Associate’s degree program focused on agriculture, food systems, and plant-based industries.

Over the course of the past nine years, KK&P has worked extensively in the state of Rhode Island, a little state that is investing big in the food system.
