From Seed to Fork: Growing Leadership from the Ground Up with The Food Literacy Project

What if growing food wasn’t just about nutrition, but about growing leaders from the ground up?In this episode, we explore how hands-on cooking, gardening, and youth agriculture programs are doing far more than teaching about nutrition or food literacy, they’re building confidence, voice, and real-world leadership. From after-school programs to paid internships, young people are stepping into responsibility, connecting to culture through storytelling and recipes, and learning how food systems shape their communities. This conversation goes beyond nutrition. It sets the example for what becomes possible when we sow the seeds of change and allow young people to grow.Follow Champions for Youth on social to stay connected between episodes and explore resources shared by youth-serving leaders nationwide.InstagramFacebookLinkedInYouTubeHave feedback or a topic you’d like us to cover?
