Teens are also taught business skills, helping them learn how to market and sell their produce at local markets or through community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs. By focusing on sustainable farming methods, the program emphasizes environmental responsibility, showing teens how they can contribute to food security and environmental conservation in their communities.
This initiative not only provides teens with valuable life skills but also fosters a sense of independence, resilience, and pride in contributing to their local economies and environments.
