Grow with Us is a series of online sessions from the Dallas Public Library - Seed Library and Dallas Environmental Quality and Sustainability hosting expert speakers to share practical, informative, and inspirational information about growing and urban agriculture in Dallas.
The current pandemic has exposed weaknesses in our food system and its supply chain, food safety and distribution methods. But increased food waste, shipping delays, empty store selves, price gouging and unsafe worker conditions do not have to be our reality moving forward. Spend some time with the CEO of Eden Green Technology to learn how vertical farming is the future of safe, healthy and sustainable local agriculture.
Virtually visit their R&D greenhouse and vertical farm outside of Fort Worth, and see how they grow 900,000 lbs of fresh and healthy produce year-round to combat food insecurity while setting the stage to become a hub for an emerging Ag Tech workforce and industry.
