“This program exceeded our expectations, even having the students be able to fly drones.
Everyone just loved the program, it felt really meaningful. Our teachers loved it and it
was incredibly popular at the District Fair. The students felt proud of their projects and felt
that they were doing something important. We loved having AgTech 101.”
Principal Sophia Russo, High School for Media & Communications
"It was certainly one of the most holistic programs I have experienced, it creates a needed network for a lot of talented people."
Laura Neves Penido, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 4
"The work that Change Food for Good does is phenomenal! Each instructor is extremely
knowledgeable about the installations and the engineering side of this work.
Our teachers have also taken notice, one teacher has asked for Change Food for Good to
push into her classroom to accentuate her daily instructors with real-world applications
and systems. They even brought in paid internships for our students to learn and lead
richer lives. Honestly, thank you CFFG for all you do, I know this is the start of an
amazing partnership."
Joahan Suarez, Longwood Prep Academy
"I'm grateful to have been one of the participants that benefited from this program. I'm now knee-deep in a career path I'm proud of and didn't think was possible for me having come from an urban setting and having no formal education.
Thank you [CFFG Team] for holding the torch and leading the way."
Giordalis Fabre, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 3
“Change Food For Good and the AgTech program offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to our students. The training changed their lives and the way that they see themselves
in relation to food and sustainability. The experience of building a home farm opened
doors to new visions and pathways for a bigger and brighter career.
We thank the team wholeheartedly and look forward to a continued partnership.”
Cherry Ann-Ferguson, Coop Tech
"For [this] period of time, I was able to be fully immersed in AgTech down to getting my tools to build my system at home. I really appreciate all the instructors being easily accessible and so understanding on our different learning styles and how to engage us!"
Genet Mitchell, Intro to AgTech Alumni Cohort 4
"I found Intro to AgTech to be a fantastic baseline for any aspiring agriculture technologist, or eco-warrior.
I was able to meet the challenges of learning with the ease of an informative community that genuinely
cares about the work they're involved in. A great experience & network for people of all backgrounds & experience
levels, with work that expands from local to global levels, for enriching the self and/or the planet collectively."
