About

Plug In To Grow is brought to you by Ecosource; an environmental education non-profit empowering youth and growing green communities. Co-hosted with local urban youth, we explore the stories, people and drivers that are shaping local food, urban agriculture and sustainability in the Region of Peel - the fastest growing municipality in the Golden Horseshoe, Ontario. This podcast is generously supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and TELUS Friendly Futures Foundation. We would like to acknowledge that the land on which this podcast was developed is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize this land and pay our respects to the Anishinaabe past, present and future. Visit ecosource.ca to learn more.
