- Essential plant growing needs regarding soil, water, nurtrients, and light to maximize food production.
- How to effectively utilize food growing systems in built environments including placement, community education/involvement, and product demand/distribution.
- Insight regarding challenges with a focus on design solutions by looking at existing urban farming projects in the United States
