Some schools in Brooklyn are getting a boost from the Borough Presidents office.
More than $7 million will be allocated to 7 schools in the borough to invest in technology that will help facilitate urban farming education.
Borough President Eric Adams made the announcement on Tuesday.
He also unveiled the design for a news state-of-the-art greenhouse that will be built at the Lewis H. Latimer and Urban Assembly Unison School in Clinton Hill.
Construction of the greenhouse will expand on the school's classroom farm, which already provides vegetables for the school and community.
"The students are going to lead the way in dealing with the food deserts. Food deserts are not going to exist in our community because our children are going to be the solution," said Adams.
The new greenhouse will be created with help from Teens for Food Justice, a non-profit that teaches teens all about growing food and healthy eating.
