Urban agriculture incubator
Project Info:
The Southside of Peoria is a prime example of systemic poverty in our own backyard. What makes poverty systemic is the lack of resources needed for thriving and a culture of hopelessness. Furthermore, the southern third of the city of Peoria does not have a supermarket that provides fresh food. That includes all of the zip codes 61603, 61606, 61605, 61602, and parts of 61604. The Urban Agriculture Initiative aims to provide at least three needed resources which are
1. Healthy food sources
2. Innovative hands-on education opportunity
3. Income stream/ business opportunity
