According to Volkan Bozkir, President of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, By 2050, global crop yields are estimated to fall by 10%, with some suffering up to a 50% reduction.

Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season Find that kids typically favor food from “their” farm - even veggies they’ve never been known to eat Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown
