Food Access
With nearly 13% of Americans living in food deserts, over 39 million people go without access to healthy, fresh food, especially fruits and vegetables. With limited access to supermarkets, and farms located far outside cities, it makes access to fresh produce nearly impossible in these areas.
Now, with advances in hydroponic farming and small-footprint container farms, we can bring fresh food to these food deserts. We only need 500 square feet of flat land to grow 2.5 acres worth of food, making it possible to provide fresh and nutritious produce where it’s needed most.
