Shivam has written a letter presented to Mayor Wu to highlight the numerous benefits of hydroponics for urban agriculture and to request the City of Boston to invest more in this innovative and sustainable farming method. As a concerned citizen and advocate for sustainable agriculture, Shivam believes that hydroponics can play a crucial role in addressing the growing food demands of our city while also mitigating the environmental impact of traditional farming methods, which tied together his Food Justice Writing class and partnership spent researching and expanding upon past work of hydroponics done by a prior student of the class.
