Urban centers tend to be affected most heavily by malnutrition. Unlike their rural counterparts, the urban poor lack the land to grow food to supplement either their diets or their incomes.  As global rates of malnutrition and urbanization continue to increase, it is important to start considering more innovative ways to produce food.

VertiGrow aims to improve the quality of life for people in the world's poorest urban slums. The technology is versatile, inexpensive, and resource-conservative.  Produce generated from VertiGrow units can be used to supplement a family's diet or income.
