Project snapshot
NerdDNA’s project tackles food insecurity and environmental education in our urban community. Our hydroponic farm training lab and sustainability workshops address gaps in health and eco-awareness. Through social media, partnerships, and events, we engage the community, collaborating with schools and businesses. Involving residents in lab operations and workshops builds a network of sustainability advocates, especially among youth. Post-grant, sustainability is ensured through workshop fees, farm product sales, and partnerships. Our vision is a community empowered by sustainable living. NerdDNA also supports the community through educational workshops, environmental advocacy, green spaces creation, and local employment opportunities, fostering a resilient and empowered community fabric.
