TURKS & CAICOS: The Farm at Seven Stars Resort & Spa
The sun, the sand, the sea breeze–these are homegrown in Turks and Caicos. But the ubiquitous resort buffets? Much of the food is imported, often resulting in lackluster quality.
Not so at Seven Stars Resort & Spa, where the name of a new restaurant, The Farm, says it all. Wanting fresh produce, but faced with the challenge that most of the island’s foundation is limestone with little to no soil, Executive Chef Edwin Gallardo established a hydroponic container farm—the first on the island.
The resulting bounty of fresh vegetables—an estimated six tons of produce per year—not only guides the menu, but also the hotel’s ambitious sustainability initiatives. An underground cistern captures nearly 7 million gallons of rainwater annually, reducing water usage, and Seven Stars is also phasing out plastic cups, bottles, and straws, and implemented water stations with glass and metal refillable bottles.

University of Evansville Launches "We Grow Aces!" to Tackle Food Insecurity and Support Student Learning
The University of Evansville (UE) is launching We Grow Aces!, a new initiative that brings together education, sustainability, and community engagement to provide access to extraordinary experiential learning, while addressing food insecurity and workforce development.
The program, funded through the Eli Lilly Endowment's Indiana Youth Programs on Campus grant, will make possible the purchase of a Pure Produce Container - a vertical garden system jointly developed by anu™ and eko Solutions, housed in an up-cycled shipping container capable of producing 3,920 plants per 40-day cycle, or several tons of vegetables annually.
UE will then provide accompanying programming that will equip students-from middle school through college-with practical skills in nutrition, agriculture, and sustainability. By working alongside local schools, community organizations, and industry leaders, We Grow Aces! will prepare students for future careers while helping to meet critical needs in the region.
