Session: Colorado Food System Jeopardy Challenge
LOCATION: classroom 1, Youth Participants Only
Jorey is a junior at Campo High School in Southeastern Colorado. He worked his way into agriculture with one set of grandparents farming and ranching, and the other raising sheep for the market. Throughout the years, he has become intrigued about keeping food local and using local resources whenever possible. He has realized the need to protect disappearing small farming and ranching operations and for corporations to uphold more people-centric practices rather than profit-driven consumption of land. Jorey hopes to help keep people farming and ranching in rural areas so that the legacies of families’ like his can live on.
