A New Dawn Incorporated is a grassroots community-based program located in the Mill Creek-Parkside section of West Philadelphia focusing on reducing community violence involving youth and adults by building capacity and resilience while supporting families by providing information, education, and fostering engagement among neighbors and residents of Mill Creek-Parkside. We empower our youth by addressing stress and trauma by using training through mentorship, teaching and incorporating how to maintain our garden and greenhouse, and growing fruits and vegetables. Our mission is to rehabilitate young people and empower them to reserve public safety and neighborhood preservation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and drones are revolutionizing the farming industry by providing advanced solutions for precision agriculture. AI algorithms analyze vast amounts of data collected from drones equipped with sensors, satellites, and IoT devices, offering farmers insights into crop health, soil conditions, and water usage. Drones enable efficient monitoring of large agricultural fields, detecting pest infestations, optimizing irrigation, and facilitating pesticide free alternatives. This integration of AI and drones accelerates farming practices, enhances productivity, reduces resource wastage, and promotes sustainable agriculture for a more food-secure future. Please allow your child/children ages 10 to 17 to join us as we embark on a new revolution of farming.
