UrbanPonics is a pioneering urban agriculture company based in Chicago, IL. They utilize innovative growing technologies and local talent to produce fresh, wholesome produce year-round in economically underdeveloped communities, addressing the issue of food deserts and promoting healthy lifestyles. Through partnerships with community organizations, they provide job training and employment opportunities to traditionally hard-to-employ members of the community, while also enhancing the economic viability of the area.
With a focus on sustainability, social responsibility, and profitability, UrbanPonics defies outdated thinking by growing fresh food in the city. Their hydroponic sites are strategically located on under-utilized land, putting it back into service and into the tax base. By doing so, they are redefining what works for the city and creating a new model for urban agriculture that prioritizes the well-being of both the community and the environment.
