Luyanda Middleton: Leading Food Security with Plant Health and Climate Action
Luyanda: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Starting my garden was a hobby that turned into a passion. I first started at home and then began supporting more community members to start backyard gardens. The initial challenge was to ensure food security, but then I realized that organic farming was beneficial to the environment. I started my research on plant boosters and this piqued my interest in climate change. I was eager to know about the drought's history and find a way for farmers, women, and other groups to adapt to the climate change era. The truth is, we cannot reverse the clock, but it is important we learn to maintain the situation in our hands—discovering that has been my purpose.
