Would you appreciate adding nutrient-rich fruits & vegetables that are freshly harvested, local, and organic to your diet this summer? What if you can have them at a cheaper price than conventional market value?
If that seems tempting to you, I invite you to check our research project titled Permanent Abundance aimed to promote food accessibility especially in cold northern climates.
Our hypothesis for the summer: A 4.5-meter-diameter greenhouse can be designed to supply a family (of 4 adults) with at least 50% of their food requirements, year round, and requires less than 3 hours of maintenance (garden care, harvest) per week.
Watch our promo video here:
Will we be able to test our findings this summer? Our only obstacle is financial. The completion of this project depends on the generosity of the people that support it. We have already received 15% of our goal! If this subject interest you, and can afford a donation of at least $1, please visit our GOFUNDME campaign to see the new perks on how you can benefit from supporting our project financially.
