Space aims to strengthen public-private partnerships to enhance agricultural training gardens in local Public and Chartered Schools. This initiative also supports sustainable resource research and environmentally-friendly programs for students and faculty.
We plan to upgrade the One Block International Marketplace to showcase community gardening, offering hands-on demonstrations for early childhood and seniors in Ward 4. This initiative promotes using sustainable vertical, rooftop, and urban gardens to produce organic food for the Brightwood-Manor Park community.
Another goal is to provide immediate access to healthier food options at local businesses, ensuring affordable, sustainable products without relying heavily on external distribution systems.
Our initiatives encourage using technology, like smartphones, to revolutionize how we review and purchase organic foods, prepare for emergencies, and implement sustainable technologies for community development and safety.
Brief demonstrations can teach wellness, and nutrition by incorporating access to healthy herbs and vegetables by growing food in vertical gardening systems in an urban environment on porches, patios, apartment balconies, backyards, rooftops, etc.
Our approach is to introduce innovative ways to grow crops through research and training through programs that will offer skills development workshops on entrepreneurship, urban food production, master gardening, food preparation, healthy eating habits, obesity and diabetes prevention, exercise, food safety, and sanitation certification.
Our partnership with Universal Prime Energy enables us to include a community-specific onsite commercial kitchen that will also link support for in-community urban food production and food processing to provide residents and businesses with effective food demonstrations, nutritional education, food service handling, and preparation and food service certifications.
This proposal is designed to strengthen our local community with the latest user-friendly technologies that will facilitate ease of daily use by early childhood to senior residents, and provide an ongoing ability to expand and maintain the capacity to localize, city-wide and international capacity from the inception including:
Healthy Food Source, Solar Cooking, Sustainable Garden-to-Table, Vertical/Urban Garden, Use of Local Natural Resources for Healthy Food/Drink Initiatives
Mobile, On-demand Healthy Food and Drink Services to Support Small & Micro-Business – Green Space Works Initiative
Mobile Healthy Food and Drink Services for Seniors, Local Ward 4 Schools, Housing Residents, and Local Community Events
