Promoting food sovereignty through farming: We utilize farming as a means to address, educate, coordinate, and provide knowledge to youth and their families about the rights of all people in relation to food sovereignty. Our focus lies in cultivating healthy organic foods, such as fruits and vegetables, while imparting valuable information on sustainable agricultural practices.
