Youth Food Action Project

The YFAP links youth gardening/farming sites in Albuquerque, NM that are working in collaboration with each other under the umbrella of a USDA CFP grant in association with the YMCA of Central New Mexico and ACHIEVE (Action Communities for Health, Innovation and EnVironmental changE). The blog serves as a learning and gathering space for youth to publish and discuss their relationships to food and engage each other while working for food equity and community health.

Return to UNM

Classes started today and it was very exciting. In Cultures of the World we opened up saying something interesting about ourselves. I introduced myself and said that something people find interesting about me is my involvement in Dragon Farm and YFAP.

I was equally excited to see that a handful in that very room recognized the name saying things like, "Oh, I think I remember seeing you at the Downtown Growers Market."
