Today is National Rural Health Day. Did you know over 15% of rural households face food insecurity? With long distances to grocery stores, high food prices, and seasonal shortages, access to fresh, healthy food can be limited. Additionally, research shows that food insecurity is closely linked to an increased risk of chronic health conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes, affecting both adults and children. Learn more about the challenges rural communities face and how innovative solutions like hydroponics can help solve this ongoing problem.?? https://lnkd.in/dfM5DB_C #NationalRuralHealthDay #FoodInsecurity #Hydroponics

关于我们
With a mission focused on empowering communities and environmental conservation through STEM education, Green Our Planet seamlessly integrates nature, technology, and education to create transformative experiences through school gardens and hydroponics. Research shows students from PreK to 12th grade engage more deeply and retain more information through practical, hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) learning. Green Our Planet’s programs equip dedicated teachers with the knowledge and infrastructure needed to guide students in exploring science, nutrition, conservation, financial literacy, nature, and more through hands-on lessons in outdoor garden spaces and indoor hydroponics laboratories. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization, Green Our Planet operates the largest and one of the most comprehensive standards-aligned school garden programs in the United States.
