Description:
Episode 3 illustrates diverse ways that teenagers can be important players in the local food system. The video features 3 Kentucky youth in rural and urban settings who are passionate about making a difference in their communities through beekeeping, farming, and community-based local food system work. A key message is that there are many meaningful ways for youth to get involved in their local food system, and there are resources (like ag educators) to support them along the way.
