Green Jean Foundation
Welcome to the Green Jean Foundation, where our mission is to foster a deep appreciation for agriculture while equipping young minds with the necessary knowledge and tools to thrive in this vital industry.
We believe that agriculture serves as the backbone of society, providing sustenance, economic stability, and a connection to nature. In Florida’s dynamic agricultural landscape, the combination of climate challenges and technological advancements creates unique opportunities and demands. Our vision is to inspire and prepare the next generation to contribute to the agricultural sector with confidence and innovation.
Our podcast will cover this and so much more.
