Overview
Eduponics Institute USA brings knowledge and training to public schools, colleges and community organizations. As nearly all new population around the world will live in cities, hydroponic gardening has the potential to improve dietary outcomes and to create a "new economic engine" for 90% of the world's people.
TrainingWe want to see you off to a flying start.
ProductionOperate a working indoor farm (example) in a classroom, supplying locally grown, fresh, nutritious vegetables. Early in the program students earn state-approved certificates in hygiene and food handling, which can lead to full or part-time employment. (Varies by jurisdiction.) Your working indoor farm doubles as your training laboratory. ImplementationWe help you configure your training lab/farm and provide advice on installation. Optionally have one of our experienced installers implement your lab/farm. You might choose to include assembly and disassembly of equipment in your curriculum. OutreachBuild awareness and acceptance of healthy diets and local production. Help create and develop new economic engines in disadvantaged communities. Eduponics is a perfect project for your DECA program. Optionally partner with community organizations and retailers to improve nutrition in communities that are not well served by corporate grocery chains, the so-called urban food desert, where low incomes and inefficient transportation combine to lower the availability of nutritious fresh produce.
