My name is Elizabeth Gallo and I am a Studio Art and French and Francophone Studies double major with a Food Studies Certificate. I am from Baltimore, Maryland where I first discovered my love for farming when I had the chance to work on an urban farm near my house. After graduation I plan on beginning an apprenticeship at an organic farm with a focus on regenerative agriculture and humanely raised meat. My career goal is to be able to run my own organic meat and vegetable farm and help people connect with the food they eat and the land that provides it. I chose to get a Food Studies Certificate because I am interested in issues surrounding access to high quality food, particularly in urban areas, and the disconnect our society often faces between what we eat and where it comes from.
