We're often asked, how does farming tie into sustainability science?

Hydroponics is the practice of growing plants w/ nutrient-infused water instead of soil. Through farming, students learn about everything from food miles & heat islands to water waste & composting! 🌱🌊✨

Join us on April 30th for an inspiring webinar hosted by NAAEE 🎓🌎 and alongside SEI: Building Leaders for a Resilient World! Our Executive Director Manuela Zamora will be sharing insight into our mission to reshape climate ed in our nation's largest public school system. Learn more: eepro.naaee.org/learning/inspi…

An underrated sign of spring can be seen in NYC now - baby leaves! These tiny leaves are signs of greener things to come. In the weeks before the trees fully leaf out and provide shade, other plants, like spring ephemerals, take advantage of the extra sunshine on forest floors.🌿

We were thrilled to be w. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards for today’s State of the Borough & his historic commitment to hydroponics & climate ed in Queens public schools! Your appropriation of $2.3M this FY will grow the next generation of Farmer Scientists & help build a more sustainable future.
