Project Need
Our team chose to start this project because we realized that our community is lacking fresh fruits, vegetables, and just healthy options. In our community, there is only a few grocery stores and even less stores with fresh products. In a span of 1.2 miles there are at least five convenience stores. This is why we are teaching the community how to create accessible hydroponics. Hydroponics is a water garden that allows the plants to grow without the aid of soil, instead it uses water filled with nutrients helping the plant to flourish. Hydroponics is a way to grow plants in smaller areas than a garden and use less resources like soil that are not readily available in urban areas. Many of the plants grown in these systems are leafy greens that can help people live a long healthier life.
