Learn about a SARE-funded summer apprenticeship with 5 Bangladeshi-American teens working with Bandhu Gardens, an urban farm in Detroit. Hear about the youths' experiences from the apprenticeship, advice for other programs looking to work with youth, and reflections on their family's cultural practices related to community food systems and sustainable agriculture farming operations. This session will dissect the study and its findings with tangible takeaways for small or beginning farmers.
