graceborn@arizona.eduAfter successfully growing my first plant from seed to flower, I realized how special and important it is for humans to establish a relationship with the planet in a hands-on way. From food justice to farmers markets to farm labor, I have had opportunities to experience the broader food system from a variety of angles. I am passionate about how plants and food bring us closer to our roots as well as one another.
