\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt Strawberry Crest High School in Dover, Florida, student Tanishka Aglave is being celebrated on the national stage for her groundbreaking work to save Florida\u2019s citrus industry. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has named her a national winner of the President\u2019s Environmental Youth Award, one of the highest honors for young environmental leaders.<\/p>\n
Growing up on her family\u2019s citrus farm, Tanishka saw firsthand the toll of Citrus Greening Disease. Her project, \u201cReviving Citrus, Reviving Florida,\u201d focuses on a natural treatment made from curry leaf extract, a sustainable and eco-friendly approach showing real promise in fighting the disease.<\/p>\n
But her impact goes far beyond the lab. Over two years, she has led a campaign planting more than 1,500 citrus trees, distributed disease management kits to growers, and even written a children\u2019s book, \u201cThe Story of Oranges,\u201d to teach the next generation about sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\n
From her School Superintendent, Van Ayres, \u201cTanishka\u2019s leadership and passion for protecting Florida\u2019s environment are truly inspiring.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida Teen\u2019s Citrus Innovation Earns National Environmental Award At Strawberry Crest High School in Dover, Florida, student Tanishka…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4768,4752,4758,4762,4767,4759,4751,4764,4769,4755,28,4760,4753,4765,30,29,4770,4754,4750,4761,4766,4757,4749,4756,4763],"class_list":["post-4246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-agricultural-education","tag-citrus-greening-disease","tag-citrus-research","tag-citrus-restoration","tag-citrus-tree-planting","tag-curry-leaf-extract-treatment","tag-dover-florida","tag-eco-friendly-farming","tag-environmental-stewardship","tag-epa-environmental-award","tag-florida","tag-florida-agriculture","tag-florida-citrus-industry","tag-florida-growers","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-hil","tag-presidents-environmental-youth-award","tag-strawberry-crest-high-school","tag-student-scientist","tag-sustainable-citrus-farming","tag-sustainable-farming","tag-tanishka-aglave","tag-youth-innovation-in-agriculture","tag-youth-leadership"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
