At SankofaFarms, #NCStateCALS doctoral student KamalBell_ is working hard to assist those in food deserts. His produce goes to organizations addressing #FoodInsecurity, and his #farm embodies regenerative #agriculture. But most importantly, he's integrating youth into his #farming vision.

The farm is home to an educational beekeeping program known as Bees in the T.R.A.P. — short for “teaching responsible apiary practices.” And Bell also offers a fledgling agricultural academy for #AfricanAmerican youth ages 11 and up. 

For 10th grader _Mikal_Ali, his experiences at the farm made him rethink his career goals of studying human behavior and being part of the FBI.

So I changed it to wanting to build a school that can help black people feel more inclusive in the classroom, and not only that, so instead of the human behavior, I changed to school psychology. That way I can be a psychologist in the school and help the kids with trauma that they have and different problems they have that are at home or just in life. — Mikal Ali
