Declan, Jordie, and Jack M. are tackling the issue of societal appreciation for farmers and suppliers with their ingenious project, “Farm for Life.” Their big idea revolves around government-funded learning farms that teach people how to farm, offering training to those with limited resources and no qualifications. This not only provides valuable skills but also empowers individuals to contribute to their communities.
Their Smart Start Experiment involves collaborating with local producers and shops to donate fruit, which they will turn into juice and sell at the school canteen, spreading messages about unemployment and farming. Their slogan, “Farms for life – to get out of strife,” encapsulates their mission perfectly.
