Abstract
Over the course of this internship, I gained not just a deep understanding of the practical skills of regenerative agriculture, the experience also completely transformed my relationship with the land. For the first time in my life, I fully saw and felt and appreciated what it means to honor and steward the land we inhabit, and the gifts that it continually provides us with. Feeling the healing, transformative, and community building power of participating in community farming for myself has made me even more certain of what I want in my future career. I want to study urban planning and design principles and, using my knowledge of environmental science, I want to enact tangible change in urban communities and ecosystems, and to create cities that encourage and provide access for everyone to engage with land stewardship while also working towards stronger communities, food sovereignty and climate justice.
