A female of my twenties, I exist to encourage life’s bountiful existence. I understand agricultural activism in the United States to be a wonderfully efficient way to root justice in our world. Jah Love guides my ways and Music is a powerful force and voice of motivation.
Here in Cleveland, Tennessee, USA, we are working on an Agriculture Education project known as The Greenway Table. As an aspiring resource of food awareness for Cleveland and Bradley County, The Greenway Table will focus on scientific education, service learning and community development with a space providing teachers, students and the community with enjoyable opportunities to assimilate food’s importance in healthy lives.

Objectives
The Greenway Table aspires to be a resource of food education for Cleveland and Bradley County.
Using educational gardens following sustainable agriculture practices, The Greenway Table is working to provide:
1-resource for teachers: curriculum enhancement, nutritional awareness and social interaction
2-space for service learning: colleges and schools, youth groups and public clubs
3-avenue for increased food security: half of the food will be given away, The Caring Place
4-place of community cohesion: cross-racial, cross-class and cross-generational interaction
5-atmosphere of sustainable awareness: reduction, reusing, recycling, the importance of farmers and our dollar
Sustainable agriculture is economically viable, socially just and environmentally enhancing for the community in which it exists.
