ABOUT THE EVENT
An interactive design workshop that matches professionals into small teams to develop a concept urban or vertical farm for a pre-selected site in Boston. Participants will benefit from a crash course in hydroponic and aquaponic vertical farming, economics of urban agriculture, and mentorship throughout the workshop.
At the conclusion of the workshop, an audience will gather on December 3rd at 4:00pm at Greentown Labs. Workshop teams will present their concept farms to the audience and to a panel of judges who will select the winning team.
