Young entrepreneurs will present their innovative agriculture-based businesses at a "Shark Tank"-style event sponsored by the EMBARC Youth Farm. The event is scheduled for November 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Bruce Street East DeKalb Senior Center, located at 2449 Bruce St., Lithonia.
This gathering will highlight the entrepreneurial skills and sustainable agriculture expertise of EMBARC participants. Over the past ten months, these young individuals have gained hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture, learning essential skills from planting and harvesting to food production and sales strategies.
These experiences have enabled them to develop unique business ideas aimed at promoting sustainability, supporting community growth, and expanding access to healthy food.
The "Shark Tank" challenge serves as a platform for these young entrepreneurs to showcase their skills and impact-driven ideas, reinforcing the value of sustainable agriculture. Participants will present their business concepts to a panel of esteemed judges who will provide feedback, guidance, and insights to help advance their ideas.
Prizes will be awarded to those whose projects stand out in terms of creativity, feasibility, and potential for positive community impact.
