Grow With Us: AfriThrive’s Agricultural Director on Giving Back and Growing Food

With rising food costs, growing health concerns, and increasing environmental stress, food sovereignty is no longer a niche issue—it’s a necessity. That’s why, on April 22—Earth Day—we launched the Grow With Us campaign. The goal: to bring community members together through farming, foster connection, and encourage investment in our local community by supporting food distribution programs.
