The program will include a digital platform and a hands-on component featuring the use of tinyFarms to learn to grow a variety of vegetables, while also understanding the importance of where your soil and seeds come from. The customizable curriculum developed for grades K-6 will help educators create an experiential learning experience which emphasizes the soil food web and demonstrates how living soil is as critical as a limb of a living being when it comes to food. The curriculum will discuss: Carbon and its role in living things and in soil Carbon sequestration in soil and its relevance to climate change Biology, as it relates to the millions of micro-organisms and their functions Regeneration and sustainability Finally, this program will partner with like-minded initiatives with high K-6 distribution across the globe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589475017514-O0UQO7XJ606CM1WGUMCS/2.png Areas of Impact - Soil Health As urbanization continues to expand across the world, soil and the balancing of green areas has been neglected. We want to understand the use of synthetics in urban soils. The paradigm of growing food has changed as cities have expanded. As most of the population has moved indoors, regenerative urban farming solutions have not kept pace. In fact, they have neglected the soil-food-web which has created imbalances in the environment and marginalized regenerative farms. Our goal is to remediate or reinvigorate this symbiotic state of nature. Healthier soil, leads to healthier green environments which lead to a healthier environment for the people that interact with them. Our solutions include growing solutions that embody the soil-food-web for environments that include, homes, condos or office towers, growing large volumes of food in warehouses using organic soil, and a remediation of the green urban environments around us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589475501287-XCEVS9LZVSGA2NINLYMY/3.png Areas of Impact - Regenerative Zero Compost Through the Zero Compost program, Modgarden Foundation seeks to transform the behaviors of commercial and residential buildings in cities to regenerate compost and redirect it back to farms. Largely designed to serve growing populations, the Foundation has developed a method of harnessing compost waste (not including Municipal Solid Waste), treating waste in-situ and exporting it as a rejuvenate for farms to close the loop on waste regeneration. The method includes natural biological processes and prevents 40-60% of the waste that enters its stream from going to landfills. By implementing modgarden-led pilots or via partnerships with existing Waste Management service providers, we can demonstrate and scale-up practices that close the loop between high-rise buildings and farms where compost is used to regenerate soil and achieve net-positive impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1b9efb6c-d4ab-4594-83b0-fc96c9e08be8/Untitled+design+%2890%29.jpg Areas of Impact - Inner City Program Inner City Program The objective is to educate inner city families on the benefits of pure food and provide tinyFarms. Inner city families are the highest cost to the healthcare system. They're choices of food are a result of quick and cheap grab-and-go typically a 7-11 or McDonalds. Modgarden Foundation aims to connect with these families by providing free or at cost tinyFarms after attending a course on nutrition, soil, farming to understand the soil-food-web for urban environments and its impact. Incentives will be offered to families who attend the counseling and coursework with free seed incentives, community connection with trade to create a network effect on a community by community basis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589475818999-JD26I0EAIVRJZJ2SUMJ5/4.png Areas of Impact - Regulatory and Policy Influence Through tinyLab, the Modgarden Foundation will support and influence policies related to regenerative growing practices in order to enable a healthier and more sustainable future. Policies are currently weighted in favor of industrial systems that make it hard for “better for you” regenerative practices to scale. tinyLab is Modgarden Foundation's research and development subsidiary, created two years ago. It is a braintrust of like minded individuals and members — researchers, scientists, soil ecologists, political activists, entrepreneurs and investors — who are interested in a common goal: enhancing the way we live. tinyLab will offer a way to develop focus in areas where we want to make a policy difference for a better system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589490534229-Z43HMNNJ1I98WFN4WCIM/5.png Areas of Impact - Food Shelter Program The Modgarden Foundation’s objective in this area is to provide a self-sustaining solution for shelters to grow food year-round. Inner city shelters rely on charitable gifts and state intervention for the most at-risk communities living on or below the poverty line. Food is an afterthought and contributes to a continuing downward cycle in this segment’s health, adding further pressure to healthcare and social supports. Our goal, then, is to empower this segment through offering jobs for cultivating food using tinyFarm commercial units at shelters and social service centers and, most significantly, giving at-risk communities access to pure food. https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home daily 1.0 2024-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589893167455-FL3QOJRI84NYGM47MX36/ModGarden1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1613504784653-J0TX45YROM7ZKFSG8T4V/The-Sustainable-Development-Goals-Report-2020_Page_09.png Home - SDG2 - Zero Hunger The pandemic has exposed the fragility of our food systems. Modgarden’s solutions express themselves by empowering people to grow their own organic food with the highest nutrient densities, without supply chain risk at their fingertips at half the cost of the supermarket. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1613507018008-15SKWZQ64PETX31DZJTQ/The-Sustainable-Development-Goals-Report-2020_Page_10.png Home - SDG3- Good Health and Well-Being Without abundant health, wealth is impossible. At Modgarden, we’ve developed our products with a brain trust of global researchers, influencers and like to ensure food is grown in the purest ways that mimics “medicine” in the body. Health starts with the choices we make with food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1613507528521-I2QIF9JNRZDPAGUP5WRH/The-Sustainable-Development-Goals-Report-2020_Page_16.png Home - SDG9- Industry Innovation and Infrastructure Regenerative and closed loop solutions are in our DNA. Our smart farm solutions are built with the environment in mind and redefine the way food is supplied in large cities. Compost waste generated in Condo or Office towers is rejuvenated in-situ and then used as an ingredient in our soil as well as for farms needing inoculation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1613672226451-P4W8RNFYX8YP4NPOZMP8/The-Sustainable-Development-Goals-Report-2020_Page_18.png Home - SDG11-Sustainable Cities and Communities Modgarden Foundation aims to connect inner city families to opportunities for better nutrition by providing free or at-cost tinyFarms for a food supply at home, along with incentives like free seeds for families who attend curated counselling/training sessions. In addition, families will be able to trade produce they grow within their community, which will create network effects on a community by community basis. https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home/regulatory-and-policy-influence monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589475818999-JD26I0EAIVRJZJ2SUMJ5/4.png Home - Regulatory and Policy Influence https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home/experiential-learning-for-children monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589472634448-MNGX0TBUNQR4I4VQSGO7/1.png Home - Experiential Learning for Children https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home/inner-city-program monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589490764448-I84XPOKDBJWXNCJTH5VK/1.png Home - Inner City Program https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home/regenerative-zero-compost monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589475501287-XCEVS9LZVSGA2NINLYMY/3.png Home - Regenerative Zero Compost https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home/soil-research-for-health monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589475017514-O0UQO7XJ606CM1WGUMCS/2.png Home - Soil Research for Health https://www.modgardenfoundation.org/home/food-shelter-program monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebc763b107ed316cd2f89f3/1589490481138-Y3V4L5Z6QVZDCEU4HEJV/5.png Home - Food Shelter Program
