La Salle Bajío Launches Huvster Container Farm for Sustainable Ag Education
La Salle Bajío University launched a vertical hydroponic farm in collaboration with Verde Compacto to foster education in sustainable agriculture.
The Huvster container farm, a 30-square-meter space, can produce 200 times more vegetables per square meter than traditional farming with 90% less water.
The facility will serve as a research and education center for students, providing hands-on experience with sustainable agriculture technologies.
The farm produces around 100 lb of fresh vegetables weekly, supporting the university and local farm-to-table initiatives.
