New York City council member and vegan Helen Rosenthal and non-profit organization Teens for Food Justice (TFFJ)—which works to ensure universal access to healthy, affordable food—recently launched a student-built, high-capacity hydroponic farm at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Educational Campus in New York City. The innovative vertical farm provides leafy greens and herbs for use in cafeteria lunches for more than 2,000 students from six co-located schools on campus. Excess produce will be sold in food boxes to neighboring communities.

纽约市市议员、纯素食者海伦·罗森塔尔（Helen Rosenthal）和非营利组织“食品正义青少年”（TFFJ）最近在纽约市的马丁路德金教育园区创立了一个由学生建设的高产量水培农场（hydroponic farm）；“食品正义青少年”组织致力于保障人们普遍获得可负担的健康食品。这个创新的垂直农场（vertical farm）为该园区内六所学校2,000多名学生的食堂午餐供应绿叶蔬菜和香草材料。多余的农产品将装在食品箱里出售给附近各社区。

The program aims to give students the experience of building a meaningful, working solution to food security. TFFJ will bring in educators to teach students about urban agriculture, entrepreneurship (via the food boxes), and lead projects on food deserts.

该计划旨在让学生们亲身体验如何创建有意义、可行的粮食保障（food security）解决方案。“食品正义青少年”组织将聘请一些教育工作者，教授学生们有关城市农业和创业知识（通过食品箱分销农产品），并领导开展食品沙漠（food desert）的项目。

Council member Rosenthal—who is passionate about the project because of her commitment to food justice, veganism, and sustainable food production—provided much of the farm’s funding and helped solve some of the bureaucratic challenges that stood in the way of its existence. The project was also supported by New York City’s Hunter College, Whole Foods Market, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, and United Way of New York City.

纽约市市议员罗森塔尔积极拥护食品正义、纯素食主义和可持续食品生产，对该水培农场项目更是热爱有加，为建立该农场提供了大量的资金，并帮助解决了农场成立过程中遇到的一些官僚主义难题。此外，该项目还获得了纽约市亨特学院（Hunter College）、全食超市（Whole Foods Market）、曼哈顿区长高步尔（Gale Brewer）和纽约市联合之路（United Way of New York City）等机构和个人的大力支持。

Last month, the students harvested more than 700 pounds of fresh produce, putting them on track to grow more than 10,000 pounds of produce for their school and community this year.

上个月，学生们的农场收获了700多磅的生鲜农产品，据此有望在今年为他们的学校和社区生产超过10,000磅的农产品。
