In this episode, Stephen shares his journey from aspiring basketball star to inexperienced teacher in the South Bronx in the 1980s to an advocate for food justice and urban agriculture. He explains how Green Bronx Machine started as an alternative to drugs and crime for his students and how growing food can be used as a pathway to improve school engagement, education, nutrition, food security, and community development.
