World Central Kitchen’s Plow to Plate in Puerto Rico

World Central Kitchen recently announced another $2 million commitment to run its “Plow to Plate” program in Puerto Rico, where I’m currently on vacation, through 2023. Plow to Plate supports smallholder farmers and businesses with grants, to increase food security and sustainability in Puerto Rico. It also runs an agro-tourism volunteer program to connect visitors with farmers and food businesses around the island. All this to continue to help Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane Maria. Today, I made another donation to World Central Kitchen to help with Plow to Plate. I saw several World Central Kitchen stickers around the island over the past week, as well as a few folks with World Central Kitchen shirts. I’m glad to see the continuing presence of the aid effort.
