A team of Science Communication Lab members participated in the 2022 Biodesign Sprint, hosted by Biodesign Challenge x Mars Wrigley. After a month of researching local food systems, interviewing experts, and developing our idea, we created a video to explain our innovative solution.

Fair Farms is a model for leveraging land at county fairgrounds (or other underutilized community spaces) to host agriculture-based innovation hubs. Our solution provides an adaptable framework that each community can use to connect local municipalities, NGOs, schools, and more—all around a shared culture of food.
