Our Mission Statement: "World Hunger Team seeks to improve the health and well-being of people in poverty by enabling access to organic and sustainable nutrition and safe, clean drinking water." World Hunger Team was founded in 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. We are a Christian organization answering Jesus’ call to “Feed my sheep.” We create systems to grow food easily where little to no food is currently grown. Some of these systems are very simple: * GROW BAGS. These are low-cost reusable polyester felt bags, similar to those that many people use to grow tomatoes on their deck outside. In this application, the bags are filled with the local dirt to grow crops in areas experiencing severe hunger issues. Our next system is a bit more complex: * GROW TENT. This is an indoor hydroponic growing tent designed for the specific purpose of growing greens and small-bush vegetables. It has a very small “footprint” of just 40” wide by 40” deep, by 80” tall. It uses non-circulating hydroponics (Kratky Method) to grow crops in standing (non-aerated) water. The crops are “fed” with water-soluble all-mineral nutrients, resulting in 100% organic crops. Our Grow Tent is ideal for growing a wide range of leafy crops including lettuce, spinach, kale, Swiss Chard, arugula and more. It also makes it extremely easy to grow your own fresh herbs such as basil, chives, oregano, parsley, dill, lavender and more. What makes our unit unique is that it has 3 levels, each level growing a whopping 36 individual plants – with an amazing 108 plants growing all at one time! We believe that our unit is the HIGHEST YIELDING GROW TENT available today. This makes it ideal for “juicers” and those who wish to eat healthy home-grown foods on a daily basis. This unit is a key component in our mission goal “To grow food in places where little to no food is grown now.”
