The first time a person learns where food comes from; the life changing experience of serving those in need; the heat of a greenhouse; the dirt under your fingernails; the feel of a handful of red wiggler compost worms; the first seedlings… This is Roots to Harvest.
It's about learning, growing, inquiry & getting dirty. Young people connect with mentors & experts in the community to explore the food system from many different sides – production, distribution, access, culture, sustainability.
The Roots to Harvest project inspires young people in urban & rural Thunder Bay to engage in issues about food security within a science & technology framework. It is a YSTOP project funded by the Ontario Ministry of Research & Innovation.
