Jazzaponics
Jazzaponics is a project in which a vacant 60 ft. by 100 ft. lot is transformed into an urban high volume food production farm (40K plants a month) and local residents take monthly subscriptions to receive fresh produce such as vegetables, fruit, herbs, and eggs (and fish a few months down the line) grown locally
The vegetables are grown using Aquaponics farming techniques (a symbiotic relationship between fish and plants) and vertical growing.
The prototype facility located in the Clinton Hill area of Brooklyn, NY is constructed to be 100 percent green with the use of modified discarded shipping containers and earthen building techniques as well as natural energy production.
The facility will also serve as a weekend training site to teach attendees how they can grow their own food as well as a wide scope of natural practices ranging from earthen building to herbal healthcare and individualize energy production
Every Thursday and Friday will serve as an after work networking event where food and wine is available for the attendees and 2 sets of Jazz music are performed by some of the world's greatest Jazz artists including many from Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Lion King, and the Saturday Night Live band
It is the intent of the project creators to replicate the facility throughout NYC, the USA, Europe, and the rest of the world.
