Sponsor
Dr. Niezen, A. Escalante; Unidos por PR Grand, $10,000 need to be completed by Sept 5 2018. Hydroponic farms will be implemented, but the research of green energy still in progress. Oriental Bank Grand, $1000, will be used to complete the green energy research.
Goals
Develop a community with economical needs and support their sustainability process after a catastrophic event by providing green and solar energy plus the use of hydroponic farming.

<p>After Maria's Hurricane the need of electricity and food become a national issue. The use of gas generators became a necessity but inaccessible for communities in need.</p>
Tools and Methods
Research the use of hydroponic farms to create green energy.
Use of solar energy to support the water supply system of the farm.
Design portable hydroponic farms for lettuge sales and be stored for storms.
Design residential farm for a low income family.
Create sustainability by providing green energy, hydroponic farms and catastrophics events seminars to 9th graders.
Develop program sustainability by establishing hydroponic farms in public schools. Sales will be done to nearby restaurants.
