This document proposes developing a vertical farm demonstration project in St. Louis to address various issues with the current food system and act as a test site for sustainable food production. It outlines potential benefits for community groups, universities, and businesses to participate. The project would set up demonstration sites at a proposed location in Old North St. Louis to test hydroponic, aquaculture, and other green technologies for growing food locally and year-round. The goal is for members to collaborate, test solutions, and share knowledge to help advance the vertical farm concept.
