Plants have the power to teach us about sharing. Generous with their seeds, they pass on their abundance for others to benefit. Melissa DeSa uses this as inspiration for the project she has co-founded, Working Food, which empowers local communities and farmers in Florida. They’re developing a healthy food network by sharing seeds, resources, and knowledge. DeSa works in collaboration with Grow Hub, a programme which offers adults with disabilities work experience and opportunities in line with sustainable living. Through her efforts, people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds have the chance to make a difference. Visit workingfood.org to find out more about this initiative. Footage by Nomad Creative (Sami Kattan) and Working Food was used in the creation of this film.
