Growing Without Limits
Growing Without Limits is a short documentary film featuring the Young Urban Farmers (YUF) and their impact on climate change, sustainable agriculture, and increasing underserved communities’ access to affordable food. YUF is a youth development program that provides high school students with a paid opportunity to increase their knowledge and skill set and serve as valuable assets to their communities. It is based in Athens-Clarke County and is a grant-funded program of the Athens Land Trust. The goal of YUF is to teach the interns to develop skills and equip them with knowledge in sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and entrepreneurship. A major part of this program is the development of entrepreneurial businesses to showcase at the local farmers market. Take a look at the impacts of the student interns and listen to the expert opinions of faculty at the University of Georgia. This documentary was created by Sophie Ralph and Sanaejah Reid in collaboration with the Georgia Climate Project and the University of Georgia’s Office of Sustainability for the duo’s Sustainability Certificate Capstone project in Spring 2024.
