In a world where food insecurity is on the rise, a science teacher in Georgetown County, South Carolina, is taking a unique approach to educate her students about sustainable agriculture. Elizabeth McCarty, a teacher at Waccamaw High School, is seeking funding for a large-scale indoor hydroponic garden in her classroom. This innovative technology will allow her students to grow their own food while learning about the importance of sustainable farming practices.

McCarty's goal is to teach her students about the challenges of feeding a growing population, while also exploring alternative methods of farming and food production. She believes that by introducing her students to hands-on, experiential learning, they will be better equipped to find innovative solutions to the world's food security problems.

The hydroponic system is specifically designed for educational purposes and is easy to use, even for students with no prior experience in agriculture. The system uses a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil, making it an efficient and sustainable way to grow a variety of plants, including lettuce, peppers, and tomatoes.

By supporting McCarty's project, you can help inspire a new generation of students to become engaged in sustainable agriculture and food security. Your donation will go directly towards purchasing the hydroponic system and other necessary equipment for the classroom.
