OBJECTIVE

A key part of my goal is to encourage people to grow and harvest their food. I strongly believe that by working together, we can create a healthier way of eating and the importance of youth involvement in food sustainability practices. In a group like this, everyone is welcome to share ideas and experiences on how to improve the way they eat to live a healthier lifestyle.
