Why grow our food locally?
Growing local food is now more crucial than ever. The effects of climate change, such as hotter temperatures, changes in rainfall and more extreme weather, are making it harder to grow the food we need. While nearly two and a half billion people in the world currently live without enough food, this will only worsen as access to food is increasingly affected. Now is the time for action. By growing food locally, we can improve food access, raise the quality of the food we eat, and reduce our carbon footprint. This website is dedicated to providing the basics on why local food production is important, how hydroponics can help, and provides at home hydroponic experiments.
Welcome to Growing Local Food
This website is committed to reshaping how we think about growing food. With a fresh outlook, we can embrace better and more environmentally friendly ways of growing food for our local communities.
