UrbanPonics is a pioneering urban agriculture company based in Chicago, IL. They utilize innovative growing technologies and local talent to produce fresh, wholesome produce year-round in economically underdeveloped communities, addressing the issue of food deserts and promoting healthy lifestyles. Through partnerships with community organizations, they provide job training and employment opportunities to traditionally hard-to-employ members of the community, while also enhancing the economic viability of the area.
With a focus on sustainability, social responsibility, and profitability, UrbanPonics challenges outdated thinking about urban agriculture. They are redefining what works for the city by growing fresh food right where it's needed, defying the notion that hydroponic produce is expensive or that farmers don't exist in inner-city Chicago. By putting under-utilized land back into service and into the tax base, UrbanPonics is making a positive impact on both the environment and the local community.
