Research Intern Jarrod Fyie came to The Land Institute from Columbus, Ohio, and the hills and forests of SE Ohio, but is learning to appreciate the rhythms and details that make Salina, KS, a new home. He has taken a very winding and broad approach to education, driven by curiosity, and graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in Neuroscience and Environmental Studies. During his time at college, Jarrod volunteered at a community garden in Columbus in college where he was introduced to the joys of growing food and the liberatory potential of food sovereignty.
