Change Food for Good

“This program exceeded our expectations, even having the students be able to fly drones. Everyone just loved the program, it felt really meaningful. Our teachers loved it and it was incredibly popular at the District Fair. The students felt proud of their projects and felt that they were doing something important. We loved having AgTech 101.”

Principal Sophia Russo, High School for Media & Communications

"It was certainly one of the most holistic programs I have experienced, it creates a needed network for a lot of talented people."

Laura Neves Penido, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 4

"Intro to AgTech has been a phenomenal program to explore agriculture, technology and construction. It's transformed my understanding of the agriculture, helped me learn project management fundamentals to organize farm operations efficiently, and provided invaluable real-world insights through hands-on farm tours. Building a comprehensive portfolio that we coded from scratch gave me the practical tools to succeed. It's inspired me to one day build my own farm that is socially, environmentally and economically sustainable."

Nishi Shabiha, Intro to AgTech Cohort 7

"Change Food For Good's Intro to AgTech program enabled me, as an aspiring architect and designer, to develop landscaping and digital skills that complemented my portfolio and design journey. I felt completely supported at every step we took toward enhancing our personal and professional skills."

Anjali Arora, Intro to Agtech Cohort 8 Alumni

"An amazing program with amazing people. The entire organization was super helpful from start to finish, and couldn’t have asked for better people to instruct and guide me."

John Ebaid, Intro to AgTech Cohort 8 Alumni

"I'm grateful to have been one of the participants that benefited from this program. I'm now knee-deep in a career path I'm proud of and didn't think was possible for me having come from an urban setting and having no formal education. Thank you [CFFG Team] for holding the torch and leading the way."

Giordalis Fabre, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 3

“Change Food For Good and the AgTech program offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to our students. The training changed their lives and the way that they see themselves in relation to food and sustainability. The experience of building a home farm opened doors to new visions and pathways for a bigger and brighter career. We thank the team wholeheartedly and look forward to a continued partnership.”

Cherry Ann-Ferguson, Coop Tech

"For [this] period of time, I was able to be fully immersed in AgTech down to getting my tools to build my system at home. I really appreciate all the instructors being easily accessible and so understanding on our different learning styles and how to engage us!"

Genet Mitchell, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 4

"I found Intro to AgTech to be a fantastic baseline for any aspiring agriculture technologist, or eco-warrior. I was able to meet the challenges of learning with the ease of an informative community that genuinely cares about the work they're involved in. A great experience & network for people of all backgrounds & experience levels, with work that expands from local to global levels, for enriching the self and/or the planet collectively."

Jose Rodriguez, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 3
