‘Rooted in Solutions,’ Atlanta’s Youth Grow 300 pounds of Produce

This October, Rooted in Solutions harnessed youth-driven power through a community garden initiative, bringing fresh energy and tangible impact to the surrounding community. Rooted in Solutions is a nonprofit organization that meets the basic needs of people in Metro Atlanta by providing sustainable access to food. Rather than offering only short-term relief, they focus on long-term solutions in three areas: education, community building, and a scientific approach. “Our most recent initiative expanded our community garden by adding four new garden beds, increasing how much fresh produce we can grow and share with the community. To make it happen, we brought together student volunteers from three schools across Metro Atlanta,” Ethan Steeple, the Chief Financial Officer, said. Through education, Rooted in Solutions teaches families about nutrition and how to grow their own food.
