Programs: According to the World Bank, growth in agriculture has at least twice the potential impact of any other sector for reducing poverty around the world. It has the ability to support livelihood through sustainable income generation and holistic health care. Through our program work, students learn that to grow up and become a farmer is not a desperate end, but a hopeful beginning. 2 Seconds Or Less is currently dedicated to combating malnutrition in Zimbabwe, Africa. By planting nutrition gardens at government schools, we empower children in Zimbabwe through education in sustainable farming. We have big plans for future programs in the United States and around the world.
