EVERYONE LOVES SWISS CHARD AND THAT’S OKAY BY KARUN

June 4, 2025

Hello, I will be telling you about the people I interviewed about hydroponics. Hydroponics is an approach to growing plants without using soil.

I interviewed Lenny, Nikolai and Aitan from the Rachel Carson High School for Coastal Studies about their presentation on Controlled Environment Agriculture (or CEA). It was my first interview so I asked very simple questions. All three presenters started in RCHS in middle school and all like planting the same plant – Swiss Chard. Sounds tasty!

What do all these abbreviations mean?

If you were wondering what CEA, FFA, and RCHS mean, I can tell you. CEA stands for Controlled Environment Agriculture. As you can see, this is about the environment and agriculture. Agriculture is the science or practice of farming. FFA refers to Future Farmers of America. You can also see that this is about farming and the future of people.

Finally, RCHS refers to Rachel Carson High School for Coastal Studies, the name of their school.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, this team of people helps lots of people learn about hydroponics and more.
