In a time when Edmonton faces rising food costs, climate change challenges, limited local agricultural options, and a cold climate that restricts year-round farming, this project presents an innovative solution to transform urban food production. By leveraging 3D printing technology to create vertical gardens, residents can address the urgent need for sustainable, affordable, and local food sources. Students will analyze Edmonton’s current urban agriculture landscape, benchmark against successful vertical gardening models to promote sustainable urban farming.

This initiative not only fosters creative problem-solving and technological innovation but also aims to produce a comprehensive digital portfolio highlighting their efforts. Let’s cultivate a resilient, sustainable Edmonton—because a thriving local food system is vital for our city’s health and future!
