How do we solve world hunger?

We took a very literal approach to the driving question. We first dove into what plants need to grow and photosynthesize. After learning that it's not the soil that plants need, but rather the nutrients found within the soil, students were introduced to Hydroponics. Hydroponics is an up-and-coming method that could greatly benefit cities with high-density populations. These cities are running into the problem of not having enough fertile soil as they continue to increase in size; however, they do have plenty of buildings that could be converted into a mass vertical farming unit through the implementation of Hydroponics. In our setting, students dove into experimenting on which nutrient solution (complete, nitrogen-deficient, iron-deficient) would be the best for growing plants in a Hydroponics setting. Students concluded the project with a final report discussing their results.

In History we discussed and debated Globalization during Medieval History to the Present and how Globalization plays a part in World Hunger.
