Forming future consumers awareness
Abstract
In a society increasingly distant from agricultural practices, Vertical Farming Education was created to bring young people closer to the food chain.
Thanks to our Vertical Farm, students cultivate directly in the classroom, monitoring the growth of salads and the water used throughout the entire production cycle.
According to the scientific reports of the BCFN, adopting a healthy diet is the most ecological individual gesture we can make. We want to convey this message to the students, in the hope that they will become more aware consumers. Aware that wasting food is equivalent to wasting the resources used to produce it. And aware that adopting a healthy diet can benefit our health, but also the health of the planet.
