A graduate of the University of Connecticut has developed an organization to combat food insecurity by developing hydroponic farms in Hartford, Connecticut and around the world.
Levo International provides hydroponics equipment and training to people living in food deserts, encouraging fresh produce to eat and a surplus to sell.
A Eagle Scout's project has turned into the Hartford Vertical Farming Training Center, which he created to address food deserts for the city residents who have been systematically denied access to that produce.
