Learn more about your impact
This fund will benefit undergraduate and graduate students and researchers who study vertical farming at Arizona State University. Through the broader impacts that this project will have on advances in vertical farming research and teaching and sustainable urban food production, this fund will benefit communities beyond ASU including the vertical farming industry, vertical farming researchers and urban residents who have limited access to fresh food worldwide. Your generosity supports people in urban environments who have limited access to fresh foods due to being negatively affected by food inequity. Your support will help fight against potential extreme water shortages that could negatively affect food production and economic development for all in the future.
