Summary
From prison to produce. This episode dives into the critical work of Restorative Farms, led by Director Owen Lynch, to combat the food desert crisis by creating a path to meaningful employment for those seeking a fresh start. Lynch's organization goes beyond simply growing food, focusing on planting careers through paid vocational training; this leads to incredible success stories where program graduates, including those leaving jail, secure stable, high-value jobs as farmers and agricultural trainers.
