The Urban Farming team is focusing on the issue of food insecurity in the Midwest. Food insecurity is the lacking of consistent access to healthy food options. The goal of the UF team is to improve the availability of fresh produce through indoor hydroponics in a designated food desert, and the team is currently focusing on Broad Ripple, IN, where many elderly community members face challenges in accessing healthy food. We are working with Jovial Family Farm to develop a multifunctional hydroponics system that provides food that is beneficial and accessible to all members of the community, regardless of age or mobility level. The team is also looking to foster intergenerational experiential education through the development of educational programs that utilize an urban farming context. Our community based agriculture sub-team is developing a framework to distribute the produce grown to community members and start healthy and positive eating habits. Finally, the UF team hopes to create a reproducible framework for other groups to follow for further development of hydroponics systems in Midwestern food deserts.
