We’re looking to celebrate young people who are revolutionizing the way that food is grown, distributed, and eaten.

In BLAST’s new magazine reap|sow, we will be focusing on young people who are doing innovative work around food. We know that people everywhere are finding creative solutions to problems, and we want to hear about the work that is inspiring to you. By choosing several people for a feature article in the premiere issue we will share innovative models with the larger network. Give someone – or yourself – the recognition they deserve!

Download and fill out the nomination form (provided here in MS Word and here PDF format) and send it to Ben Handzo (bhandzo@thefoodproject.org). Those selected will be featured prominently in the premiere issue of reap|sow!
