“I do think this next century, hopefully, will be about a more global view. Where you don’t just think, yes my country is doing well, but you think about the world at large” ~Bill Gates
I embrace the opportunity to share stories of local people who are inspiring global change. I made John Paye’s acquaintance while touring the HAFA Farm in Vermillion, MN in the Fall of 2018. I was in the initial stages of gathering information for my farm to fork sustainability series. My articles feature farmers and the restaurateurs/chefs/businesses that source from them. John was there to gain knowledge regarding how to give life to a project similar to the one HAFA has created in Minnesota. John’s farm is in Bong County, Liberia which is located on the West African Coast. I recently met with John again to learn about the progress of The Liberian Agricultural Project . I hope you are as moved by his work as I am.
