About Turf
The TURF project reimagines urban spaces as sources of fresh food, resilience, and community empowerment. By transforming garages and underused buildings into aquaponic and hydroponic farms, TURF brings sustainable food production closer to where people live. It connects technology, nature, and local action to create greener cities, stronger neighborhoods, and new opportunities for learning and entrepreneurship. TURF is not just about growing food — it’s about growing the future, together.
Is TURF a commercial product or a research project?
TURF is an innovation-driven research project exploring how urban infrastructure can support local food resilience. It is developed in collaboration with sustainability experts, designers, and urban planners to create scalable, real-world solutions.
Who can participate in TURF?
Anyone with access to an underused urban space—such as a parking garage, warehouse, or similar structure—can explore TURF’s potential. The project is designed for city planners, business owners, property managers, and sustainability advocates looking to integrate urban farming into their communities.
