Teens for Food Justice (TFFJ) is building a food-secure future through school-based, youth-led hydroponic farming, providing local, sustainably-grown produce to food desert communities and building health, education and opportunity equity for all New Yorkers and beyond.
We believe that access to healthy food is a basic human right. Our vision is to build the capacity of food desert communities to grow and distribute fresh, nutritious, culturally appropriate, affordable, and accessible produce. We are catalyzing a cultural shift where young people in low-income communities become producers of their own food, educated consumers, and creators of solutions to social problems.
