Jules Hart

Jules is a sophomore in CALS studying Plant Sciences. They were born and raised in New York City, which begs the question: why plants? This passion for agriculture was inspired by years of work with the small but growing agricultural infrastructure system of New York City, which included community gardens, compost programs, and farmer’s markets. These experiences opened their eyes to the lack of access to fresh, sustainable, and healthy food in cities. Jules hopes to combine agricultural re-regionalization and agroecology concepts in order to promote the production of sustainable, local, and affordable produce for all.
