Where does our food come from? This week on NowThis Kids, we learn about farming and why it's so important that everyone has nutritious food.

Food doesn't just magically appear, especially fresh, nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables. Where does food come from? How does food get around the world? And why is it so important that everyone has access to quality food?

This week on NowThis Kids, we talk to Chander Payne. Chander Payne is the founder of Urban Beet, an org that offers marginalized kids in the community the opportunity to get their hands dirty and learn all about farming.
