The Chef’s Classroom Garden is an innovative initiative designed to integrate hydroponic farming into the culinary classroom. This project will provide students with hands-on experience in growing fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients using sustainable hydroponic systems. By bridging agriculture and culinary arts, students will gain valuable knowledge about sustainable food production, food science, and nutrition, while enhancing their cooking skills with fresh, self-grown produce.
