Reviving the Land, Reimagining Farming

Canada, Ecuador, Kenya, Germany
Many small-scale farmers are dedicated to preserving sustainable, ancestral agricultural practices. But the unpredictability of farming seasons due to climate change is challenging younger generations to see a future in farming. Engaging with local farmers, technical assistance agents, agricultural policy makers, and NGOs, my goal is to learn the agricultural education models and practices that are encouraging the next generation of sustainable farmers.
