CBS42: New Initiative Brings Hydroponic Farming to 8 Birmingham chools

A first-of-its-kind program in the nation is introducing hydroponic farming technology to eight schools across the district, giving nearly 4,000 students a hands-on way to learn science.

The initiative is a partnership between Birmingham City Schools, Jones Valley Teaching Farm and New York Sun Works. They’ve created classroom greenhouses where students can grow plants and harvest vegetables.
