By implementing a windowfarm from evolving open source designs, inner city dwellers can grow their own food in their apartment or office windows throughout the year by means of these elegant, inexpensive, vertical, hydroponic vegetable gardens made from recycled materials or items available at the local hardware store.

The Environmental Case

The food industry is responsible for 1/3 of our nation's carbon footprint. Researchers have argued that to grow some of his own food is the most effective action an individual can take for environment. The windowfarms project makes a kitchen garden possible for everyone now.

The Case for People

Little fresh food is easily accessible in many low income neighborhoods around the world, where residents have access only to processed, packaged, and canned food with depleated nutrients. Few other projects provide the public opportunities for such direct personal involvement in environmental movement, make this productive use of existing construction, or so directly target urban dwellers estranged from agricultural issues.
