Innovation name: Harding Street Project Brief description of innovation as provided in online survey: It will be imperative to begin to determine alternate ways to produce food in urban communities. Growing food on top of and inside of buildings may be a way to produce food in a new and sustainable way. VSU will grow food inside of what was once an old community center via vertical farming techniques. We believe it can be a successful and sustainable method to address food insecurity in one of the most challenged food deserts in Virginia |
