Teens for Food Justice do this through school-based, hydroponic farming led by youth. This year’s honorees included Randy Stern and Alyssa Gardner-Vazquez, and notable attendees included Alyssa Gardner-Vazquez, Katherine Soll, Tara Swibel, Erich Bergen, Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Alisha Antonetti, Sanniyah Watson, and Namar Antoine.
