Sustainability and the Next Generation: It’s Just What We Do

▤ Summary

Courtesy Farm Bureau – As Americans’ ties to food production grow further removed with each generation, North Carolina farmer Kamal Bell encourages everyone to make a connection – however small – with farming and engage as the stakeholders we are in the food system. Spurred to start farming when he learned about food deserts in college, Kamal and his wife, Amber, run Sankofa Farms in Cedar Grove, North Carolina. “I just set out on a path to grow food and our mission here is to get it to people who are affected by food deserts,” he explained. Along with conservation and protecting the land, air and water around the farm, Bell is focused on fostering the farm-to-fork connection in youth.
