Describe the challenge you want to address:

There is a food shortage in our communities. If there is a way to teach our family how to "urban farm" and supplement some of their food while giving them some skills.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Give them and teach them skills for basic urban farming to bridge the gap for food securities they might face. We use abandon lots, community gardens, rooftops and window ledges.
