We’re thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute: Rosenaldo (Mario) Zuniga, who joined our Education Team this month as the Underserved Farmer Outreach Coordinator! Based in Milwaukee, Mario will play a key role in helping prospective growers and producers connect with critical federal resources.

Mario brings a wealth of experience in outreach and community engagement, including a major role coordinating national outreach for the Affordable Care Act rollout. His exceptional ability to connect with people has been a hallmark of his career. Coming from a family of migrant farm workers, Mario also has a deep, personal connection to the challenges faced by farming communities. He is uniquely positioned to help us build strong relationships with growers in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit, fostering inclusion and access to vital resources across the region. His work is supported by newly acquired USDA funding from the Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement (Project 2501) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (RCPP).  We are thrilled to have Mario join us, bringing his passion, skills, and dedication to advancing MFAI’s mission of fostering resilient, regenerative agriculture and supporting farmers. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Mario as he begins this exciting new role with us!
