A 20 dollar investment in a container garden can yield 25 pounds of food. This is one idea Dr. Job Ebenezer implements as he works to find ways to address food security among the poor. Feed bags, wooden pallets, and discarded tires are also handy containers for gardening in tight urban spaces. Inspired by the ingenuity of George Washington Carver, Ebenezer founded his nonprofit, Technology for the Poor.
"With inexpensive containers and suitable soil mix, you can create an urban garden virtually anywhere - on roof tops, vacant city lots, brown fields, and unused portion of parking lots." --Dr. Job EbenezerThe Ohio-based organization isn't limited to the U.S. or food scarcity issues. Technology for the Poor is spreading sustainable technologies all over the world. Bicycles and simple windmills can be used for energy production. Low-cost home construction includes ideas from the early American pioneering efforts when straw served as a critical material in building efforts.
