Who We Are
UrbanPonics is a non-profit dedicated to season-free agriculture, equitable access to nutrient-rich food and the sustainability of our natural resources. We educate individuals, communities and traditional farmers on hydroponics and aquaponics benefits and support job opportunities in vertical growing, contributing to economic development and transforming the way we acquire our food.
Where does your
food come from?
Together we can build better food security for every community, and bring work to neighborhoods by growing our own food. The time is now to change how we support ourselves!
Let’s work together!
