Seeds of Diversity / Youth in Food Systems

Youth in Food Systems, which operates through Seeds of Diversity, is focused on creating opportunities for youth to connect with food systems, learn practical skills, and explore careers in food and agriculture. Our work is carried out through a number of self-directed, inquiry-based projects led by high school age youth across Ontario. We also create and maintain gardens on school grounds throughout our home base of Waterloo Region.
