Bruce said the mechanics of the growing project could be used within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics learning (STEM) education for young people.
Shed members will benefit from the plants at the start but if the project is a success, Bruce said there’s potential for the produce to be given out to other community organisations.
What’s happening inside a lab at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville offers a resilient alternative to food supply issues, while educating students at the same time. The hydroponics lab, located in Glenview Commons, is a shining example of how new measures can be implemented to meet the need for sustainable, local food production. The student-run facility which opened in 2019, serves as a living classroom where they can explore innovative farming methods and contribute to the future of agriculture.
