In this session participants will see how Somersworth Middle School students are handling the fact that 1 in 9 people are food insecure in our state. We are using growing methods to combat against climate change and short growing season as well as lack of water and over use of fertilizers and pesticides and other environmentally damaging practices. We are working with nature not against it. We are working smarter not harder. Come listen to the students discuss how we are growing food for ourselves, our school, and our local community! We will showcase how our aquaponics and hydroponics class is growing produce for a monthly sald bar in our cafeteria.
