About TIHSA

About the Texas Sustainable Food Movement
Young people are concerned about the growing impacts of climate change, and our agricultural systems are at risk for disruption as tempatures, soil, rainfall and water supplies change. The youth market for food is significant, and together we can use our voice and purchasing power to effect change for a sustainable food supply for Texas and beyond.
