Appetite For Change is doing it it!

Appetite For Change is a North Minneapolis nonprofit organization that uses food as a tool to build health, wealth and social change. Directed By Chancellor Tha Beast in collaboration with Beats & Rhymes, "Grow Food" is the culminating project of Appetite For Change's Summer 2016 Youth Employment & Training Program. Urban Youth wanted to share their message - the importance of actively choosing healthy foods - with their peers in a fun, accessible music format. At AFC, we believe that youth are the truth. We hope this song will inspire you to explore new ways to eat, cook and grow food.
