The paid program is for high school students who will get hands-on farming experience while learning all aspects of farming.
INDIANAPOLIS — It's one of the oldest trades in the country, and an Indianapolis organization is looking to train and teach the next generation.
Between 2015-2019, Marion County gained 12 low-income neighborhoods with limited food access, and the county is still recovering. Growing Places Indy hopes to decrease that percentage and strengthen the local food system by providing resources. In addition to learning how to farm, there will be field trips and lessons about all aspects of urban farming. Beaty says she realizes having a high school program won't solve the issue of food access but believes having young people understand the role everyone plays in food access can supplement some of the barriers.
