In this episode of Muslim Climate Narratives, Mayssem Marzouki takes us to her homeland of Tunisia to offer sustainable solutions to farming amidst an ecological and climate crisis made worse by the harms of commercial farming. Her organization, Students for Earth, is on a mission to foster climate-rooted resilience within communities. Through their work with local seeds in Tunisia, they aim to contribute to sustainable agriculture and combat the impacts of climate change.
Founded in September 2021, Students for Earth is a dynamic youth-led initiative with a mission to cultivate environmental awareness, advocacy, and sustainable action. They firmly believe in the power of proactive youth involvement to address pressing environmental challenges. Their organization goes beyond traditional awareness campaigns, actively participating in environmental hackathons, pursuing grants, and implementing green initiatives for tangible, real-world impact. Students for Earth, led by Mayssem, is committed to a hands-on approach, encouraging youth-led solutions that emphasize practical, impactful advocacy.
