HYDROPONICS EDUCATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP FullCircle26, Inc. Growing Food for Sustainability in Amani

FullCircle26, Inc. brought our Hydroponics Program with America Works beginner lab to the Dominican Center Hydroponic Training Lab al- lowing students to work in a real-world environment while growing food for sustainability. We also added additional hy- droponics units to the Domin- ican Center Lab, introducing all three types of hydroponics systems for growing: NFT, DFT and Aeroponics systems. Plans are underway to work with the Dominican Center lab and expand even more in 2024, including adding aquaponics, microgreens, and additional systems. FullCircle26, Inc. participated in Amani’s Thanksgiving food distri- bution through Dominican Cen- ter. The lab grew over 200 heads of cabbage and 200 bunches of colored greens for the Amani Neighborhood. More than 100 families enjoyed these greens from the hydroponics lab. We also partnered with Mil- waukee Ground Works to add two easily accessible raised garden beds to give Amani and the Dominican Center access to soil gardens.
