Youth in Food Systems
Youth in Food Systems is a program of Seeds of Diversity Canada that works to engage youth in food systems learning, skills development, and agri-food career exploration through several in-person and remote projects across Waterloo Region and throughout Ontario. We operate through a self-directed, youth-driven model that encourages autonomous decision making and collaborative opportunities with peers within a supportive environment. We believe youth must be encouraged to see viability in food careers and their potential for increasing the sustainability of our food systems. We believe that youth need opportunities to develop practical, transferable skills and be empowered to become strong leaders in the food and agriculture sectors.
