Chris Massa began teaching children about food and agriculture in 2013 as a FoodCorps service member in Ventura County, California. There, he started a student-led farm at the University of California Hansen Agricultural Research and Extension Center. Over the course of 30 weeks, his program grew more than 2,000 pounds of produce that went to the students’ families, school cafeterias and a local food bank. He now works as a farm to school operations specialist, helping local farmers sell their products to school districts.
