This hydroponic farm at the Martin Luther King Educational Campus in Manhattan, New York was built by the nonprofit Teens For Food Justice. Each week students harvest more than 150 pounds of fresh produce, which then gets served in the school cafeteria.
Teens For Food Justice’s goal is to promote universal access to affordable, fresh food by training students to become urban farmers in their schools.
In this One Small Step Lucy visits the hydroponic farm during its official launch event, watch to find out more!

Thank you guys for doing a video on this it’s such a great industry that’s up and coming it’s great you’re sharing that story to the world and inspiring others
Idk, this made me tear up. It's so amazing. I wish from the bottom of my heart that innovative styles of agriculture like this becomes a viable food source for the wider public.
Wow real cafeteria food??? My cafeteria food is fake chicken and fake salad
This program has the potential to vastly improve the equity of health mentally, nutritionally and financially.
So much green for St Patrick's Day 🍀
This channel is so underrated new sub
How to start this business from scratch

What about reuse plastic grocery bags ? Like cutting in to strips and crocheting into reusable bags or sleeping mats. That could be a one small step episode. ☺️
Ooooooo good idea
That's so cool!! I wish at least one school (or office building) in my country has this, too
What country are you from ?
@@jaeheslop4476 Bulgaria, in Eastern Europe
This wouldn't last a week in a latino house. Especially in this quarantine
Now we just need the roof to have chickens for the eggs lol 😁👍
How does aquaponics compare to using soil for indoor greenhouses?
AquaticIvy it uses less water and less fertiliser, energy and it grows faster and its usually more nutritious and pest and pesticide free
It’s called hydroponic and it’s actually an intriguing process it. Look it up it’s actually the same if not better than soil, because it uses very little water it’s a non wasteful way of agriculture it’s more modern that’s why there’s not to much public knowledge on it
You get to eat fish and you also use 90% less water no pesticides and you don't have to worry about soil born diseases
What a great initiative. ❤️😀👍
I went to that school 50 years ago
I would like some ideas as well for my elementary school. We are in Las Vegas Nevada with CCSD and our school name is Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary. Would like to know where I can get seeds for my small hydroponics farm that are not expensive but will germinate and then grow into healthy veggies.
That’s amazing so cool I really like that 👍
This only make sense if you do it in a greenhouse. The energy for lighting requirement makes it unaffordable.
Unless it’s a school project or it’s in Mars or Iceland. Where there is no options.
Correction: use a poly tunnel. You will not get a ROI if it’s a glass structure.
Send me some collars greens😊
Nice smile , Hai happy people
But wait…shouldn’t they never run out of greens at the salad bar?

HILLARY 2016🇺🇸ITS NOT OVER YET
Why?Ewww
This is true meme full education give a man a fish and you feed him for a day teach him how to fish and you feed him for life
Using white light? Lame
Blue / purple light is where is at
Absolutely not blurples are way out of date you obviously no nothing about grow lights I suggest you go watch migro before you start commenting on things you know nothing about
Yaaaaassss
first
Please stop showing people eating, it's kinda gross
child labor ？
Volunteer work and probably part of their lab hours in science or their school program or curriculum. Japanese students do a lot in their schools as well. I "worked" in an actual credit union at my school as part of our finance and business program in the school and my particular class subject.
Priscilla Jimenez good point
You want real child labor? Go to India, Africa, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and other developing countries. That shoe, chocolate bar, minerals for your phone, clothing, and coffee are the result of children working grueling hours with barely any pay.
Didn't know you like seeing children suffer abuse.
@@priscillajimenez27 we should have cleaning sessions here aside from just putting away toys and materials
