Households are responsible for the largest portion of all food waste. Statistics show that 219 lbs of food is wasted each year...and that’s just for ONE person 😳 When we saw the data surrounding this topic, we knew we wanted to be a part of the change!⁠ ⁠ So we set out to develop Lettuce Grow, a novel approach that championed health, autonomy and sustainability, free from the constraints of the current food system. Together we have already raised more than 3,799,583 veggies, fruits and greens, saved over 126 million gallons of water, and upcycled 166,197 pounds of ocean bound plastic from entering the oceans. These might just sound like numbers, but each time growers like you harvest your own produce, you’re not only nurturing yourself - you’re sustaining the planet. ⁠ ⁠ Ready to join the mission? Our Farmstand is a perfect [and easy] start to helping you adapt to a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle 🌿⁠ ⁠ Sources:⁠ ReFed, RTS, NRDC, FoodPrint⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #LettuceGrow #farmstand #hydroponicfarming #foodwaste #howtoharvest #reducefoodwaste #hydroponicgarden #hydroponicfarmstand #growyourownfood #hydroponicgardening
