It focused on urban farming, both indoor and outdoor, educating the students about nutritious food consumption. Additionally, the program sought to expose these young minds to various careers and opportunities within the agriculture industry. A significant emphasis of this project was on Black/African American youth, addressing specific challenges they faced. Firstly, many of these students had little to no exposure to the agriculture industry, primarily due to their geographical location. This lack of exposure often left them unaware of the potential and opportunities within this field. Secondly, the program recognized and addressed the negative perceptions of farming that had been ingrained in these youths due to systemic racism, historical exclusion, lack of resources, and other societal factors. Lastly, the program acknowledged that these students had limited to no knowledge about starting and operating a farming business. The program was thus structured to provide them with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to embark on such ventures, should they choose to in the future. The overarching goal was to instill a sense of possibility and empowerment in these students, helping them see agriculture and farming not just as historical or economic activities, but as viable, modern career paths and important elements of community and personal wellness. 110295 110295 110295 Nadia Ruffin Founder/Director/Instructor 40 50000 0 0 Chandler Glover Program Manager/Instructor 40 50000 0 0 Rose Black Secretary/Outreach Specialist 5 0 0 0 Karen Dorsey Veterinarian 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OH Nadia Ruffin 7430 Montgomery Road Lower Level Cincinnati OH 45236 8772232763 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 25000 37000 91825 164345 110295 428465 25000 37000 91825 164345 110295 428465 428465 0 24000 0 24000 0 0 0 0 452465 0.94696 0.93185 X
