Community to Class Program | C2C
Empowering Communities and Schools with Sustainable Farming Knowledge
The "Community to Class" program by UrbanPonics is designed to educate both communities and elementary students about the importance and benefits of indoor farming. The program demonstrates how to grow fresh, nutrient-rich produce at home year-round, emphasizes the health benefits of increasing fresh produce in your diet, and highlights the significant food wastage inherent in our current food supply chain. By understanding these concepts, participants can take active steps toward sustainable living and reducing food waste.
