Helensburgh Vertical Farming

Lucy Dunbar No comments H&L Green Futures Grant 2030

The three issues I want to focus on as an MSYP are

Implement vertical farming systems to produce fresh, local food in Helensburgh.

Why do you want to be an MSYP?

What Will It Do?

  • Vertical Farms: Establish farms in underutilized urban spaces.
  • Hydroponics/Aeroponics: Use advanced growing techniques to maximize yield.
  • Renewable Energy: Power farms with renewable energy sources.

Why Is It Needed?

  • Food Security: Increase local food production and reduce food miles.
  • Sustainability: Promote sustainable agriculture practices.
  • Community Engagement: Involve residents in urban farming.

Benefits:

  • Environmental: Reduce carbon footprint and promote biodiversity.
  • Economic: Create jobs and support local food systems.
  • Social: Enhance community health and well-being.

Timeline:

  • Phase 1 (0-6 months): Planning, securing funding, and site selection.
  • Phase 2 (6-12 months): Installation of vertical farming systems.
  • Phase 3 (1-2 years): Full operation and community engagement.
