Empower #Ugandan Families with #GreenYouthMovement
"Imagine a family that struggles to afford enough nutritious food for their children. Through the Green Youth Movement, they gain access to practical training, seedlings, and a local demonstration farm that teaches them how to grow diverse, healthy food on their own land. What begins as a garden leads to better nutrition, lower food costs, new income opportunities, and a healthier future for their children.
Green Youth Movement exists to help families move from food insecurity to self-sufficiency by empowering local youth to restore the land, grow food, and share knowledge throughout their communities.
A $16,000 investment will secure three acres of land in Uganda that will become a demonstration farm, food forest nursery, and community education center. Rather than funding a one-time project, donors will help create a replicable model that trains local volunteers, improves food security, restores soil health, and lays the foundation for long-term community-led growth."

#Virginia - #ClimateChange and Its Effect on #Gardening – 2025
By Elaine Mills, Extension Master Gardener, January 22, 2025
Climate-Conscious Gardening
"To quote David W. Wolfe, Professor of Plant & Soil Ecology at #CornellUniversity,
'We are in the unfortunate situation of being the first generation of gardeners, ever, who cannot rely on historical weather records to tell us what our climate is, or what to expect in the future.'"Join Master Gardeners in the Arlington/Alexandria unit of Virginia #CooperativeExtension in a series of monthly articles updated from their original posting in 2021 as we explore the topic of climate change and practical actions individuals can take in their home landscapes in response. This month, we’ll present an overview."

7.6: #Abundance, #Inclusion, #Resilience: The #OneMillionNeighbours Projectby Sam Nabi
Season 7, Ep. 6
Monday, May 19, 2025"This episode, Ariel speaks to Sam Nabi about One Million Neighbours, a project bringing together the voices of local non-profits that envisions the future of Waterloo Region once the population has reached one million. Sam discusses the impetus for the project, providing a voice for the voiceless, the issue with grant applications, funding the future, being proactive instead of reactive to harsh policies, and much more. What might an abundant, inclusive, resilient (Ariel says: solarpunk) city look like on the human level? Who lives there, what do they value, and what are their daily lives like? And what does it look like to take action now at the regional/municipal level to ensure that utopian vision?"
