Growing Roots in the KC Food System | Harvesting Change

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 15-20% of global food supply comes from urban agriculture. In Kansas City, Kansas, the New Roots training program offers refugees a place to grow local food and build a farm business.

There are many urban farm programs for people who are not refugees. Please understand this program is to support refugees. I would hope you would support these people. Cultivate KC does have educational programs for non refugees also.

Is this just for refugees?

No English so far…😢😢😢😢😢😢

Please show compassion here. It takes a long time to learn English, juggling with work, children and adjusting to a new life. I have a mother in law who is a Spanish speaker. She tried to learn English at Don Bosco. However she does not have transportation and class times conflict with English classes. Please understand this is not always easy.

An absolutely brilliant idea! These farming techniques need to be universally taught across the country!
