Vertical Farming
Education Program

We deploy vertical farms in schools. We then facilitate a program where students learn through clubs and classes, we empower teachers through training, enhancing the school experience.

Your dedication to enhancing food security through this groundbreaking approach of integrating aquaculture with protected cropping and involving school students is truly inspiring. It's clear that your hard work and ingenuity are making a significant impact.
