Florida Urban Organics

About

Florida Urban Organ­ics began as a con­cept less organic than urban: a “vil­lage in a box,” or pre-fabricated hous­ing for the devel­op­ing world. Pas­sion­ate about help­ing but stumped by the futil­ity of a plan that pro­vided shel­ter for com­mu­ni­ties with no eco­nomic engine, our found­ing mem­bers tack­led the ques­tion of liveli­hood instead. They answered with a food-growing sys­tem rudi­men­tary enough to run on min­i­mal resources and sophis­ti­cated enough to address con­cerns of first-world indus­trial farm­ing. The farm is pesticide and synthetic fertilizer free, uses 85 percent less water than traditional agriculture, and grows 10 times more produce on a fraction of the land - less than one acre, to be exact, just three miles from historic downtown Fort Myers. By recon­sid­er­ing the why, our founders came to a new how. By focus­ing their efforts on the most sus­tain­able, effi­cient way to feed an impov­er­ished vil­lage of 100, they stum­bled upon a bet­ter way to feed everyone.
