In Los Angeles, DNA Micro Farms is turning small residential lots into high-yield urban farms using a teraponic system—a mix of 20% soil and 80% recycled water. Their setup grows nutrient-rich produce for 35 local families weekly, using vertical beds and closed-loop watering to conserve resources. It’s part of Crop Swap LA, aiming to fight food deserts by growing and delivering fresh, local food while teaching others how to replicate this model.
