Here's an up-close photo of Zenenvirotech's soilless experiment. We are growing mustards and kale indoors in a mix of coco coir, neem seed meal, and kelp meal. The production area is housed in a fabric grow bag.
We do this to test seeds and grow medium combinations for farmers.
Eight years ago Zenenvirotech had this growing in our inaugural school garden. Students, parents, and teachers benefited from the nutrient-dense produce. A number of school gardens cease to exist because of undercapitalized. Be sure to aid garden projects when possible.

Today is #Juneteenth, be sure to support small Black non-profits with capital donations. Many of these NPOs provide sorely needed resources to communities across the nation, but they are often under-resourced. Undercapitalization limits their ability to serve. #Equity#Service
Here at Zenenvirotech, we would like to thank @SmartGivingAR for helping to fund our Farm and Food Security project via their Access to Local Foods Grant program. Thanks to ACF, as of last month, 100% of our Fresh Pantry farmers have completed an annual produce safety training!
Earlier today, Zenenvirotech's Director of Special Projects along with classmates at Columbia University volunteered at a neighboring non-profit, @HarlemGrown, to assist with food security initiatives.

EARTH Day 2023 and all of its events were fantastic! Let's continue to upcycle and do other things that benefit our planet. Friday is Arbor Day, there are many opportunities in most areas to plant trees or support agencies that take care of those woody perennials. #ClimateSmart
In celebration of #EarthDay, here are some up-close photos of local produce being grown at a Fresh Pantry Farm (Sunlight Farm). They are helping their community eat well by growing nutrient-dense foods. #Farmers#EatLocal
It is #EarthDay! Let's reduce our carbon footprint (decrease food miles) and boost local economies by supporting area farmers today and every day (buy local). We can also extend the life cycle of products via repurposing initiatives. #CircularEconomy#Sustainability
@Zenenvirotech would like to thank Tony Hillery, CEO of @HarlemGrown for giving us a tour of his garden sites today. Tony and his team are doing some amazing work in Harlem that is having a positive impact on the community, environment, and food system.
