At Greens Bali, we are passionate about promoting sustainable agriculture, educating the next generation about innovative farming methods, and sharing our love for microgreens. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a school visit from SMP Tegaljaya, where 50 enthusiastic students embarked on a green adventure through our indoor vertical farm. In this blog post, we’ll take you on a journey through their day of learning and discovery, and we’ll share how your school can also be a part of this educational experience.
Learning the ABCs of Sustainable Agriculture
Our school visitors started their adventure with a warm welcome to Greens Bali. The students were introduced to the concept of sustainable agriculture and how it plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security for our growing population. We discussed the challenges of traditional farming methods, such as pesticide use, climate limitations, and soil depletion. The vertical farming system and hydroponics techniques we employ at Greens Bali opened their eyes to a different way of growing food.
Venturing into the Vertical Farm
After a brief introduction to sustainable agriculture, it was time to step into our vertical farm. The students were in awe as they entered the controlled environment filled with rows of lush microgreens and baby greens. It was an opportunity to see firsthand how we grow our nutrient-packed produce without the use of harmful pesticides, regardless of the weather outside.
Microgreens: The Mighty Nutrient Powerhouses
One of the highlights of the trip was the microgreens’ demonstration. Students got to learn about the incredible health benefits of microgreens – how they pack an extraordinary amount of nutrients and flavors in their tiny leaves. The taste tests were a big hit, as the students savored the fresh, intense flavors that only microgreens can deliver.
Interactive Sessions and Hands-On Learning
The school choose to take the opportunity to plant right in their own classroom. After taxing home all the needed equipment, we look forward to hearing how their first hand growing experience has been!
A Call for Green Adventures
We believe that educating our youth about sustainable agriculture is vital for a greener and healthier future. We invite other schools to embark on their green adventures with Greens Bali. Bring your students to our vertical farm and let them explore the world of sustainable agriculture, vertical farming, and the wonders of microgreens. It’s a field trip that promises fun, knowledge, and a taste of the future.
