In Episode 13 Of Seed and Soil: Unincorporated Voices of Food, Farming, and Freedom, host Sommer Sibilly-Brown sits down with Zavira Wilson, a student at the University of the Virgin Islands and an emerging voice advocating for youth engagement in agriculture and community leadership.

Zavira represents a new generation of Virgin Islanders who understand that food security, community safety, and youth empowerment are deeply connected. Through her work and studies, she is helping to inspire young people to see agriculture not only as a career path, but as a powerful tool for strengthening communities and creating opportunities for the future.

In this episode, Zavira and Sommer discuss:

    •    Why youth involvement in agriculture is essential for the long-term sustainability of the Virgin Islands
    •    How agriculture can play a role in building safer, more connected communities
    •    The importance of mentorship, education, and opportunity for young people interested in farming and food systems

This episode is a reminder that the future of food in the Virgin Islands is already taking root in the hearts and hands of its young people.
