Young
urbanites flock to organic farms
Twenty-somethings across the country are abandoning fast-paced consumer
lives to volunteer on organic farms. At the World Hunger Relief farm
in Waco, more than a dozen volunteers receive free dorm-style housing
and food in exchange for their labor. Dallas Morning News, July 2008 |

Subject: One tragedy of industrial agriculture is
that it takes youth off the land and thrusts them into the city, where
they find little or no meaningful employment. This leads us to ask,
"Where can youth find
real work?" |
Topics include a history of WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic
Farms), how WWOOF makes it possible for young and old alike to work on
farms and ranches around the world; and what kind of adventures WWOOFing
brings.
