Creating a more resilient home for all Midwesterners.
Delta Institute collaborates with communities to solve complex environmental challenges throughout the Midwest. We address regional environmental, economic, and climate challenges today, so that our home is more resilient and innovative tomorrow.
Through our work, Delta Institute benefits more than five million Midwesterners by transitioning one million acres to conservation- focused practices, and by improving water quality and reducing flooding by capturing 100 million stormwater gallons. We’re achieving our goals through our many agriculture, climate, water, and community development projects.
This is what a more resilient and innovative Midwest looks like.
