Abstract
Green Roots began as a response to food insecurity in Franklinton, a Columbus neighborhood without an accessible grocery store. What started as a question—How can design become a local solution? — turned into a vision for a community-centered market that integrates urban agriculture, sustainability, and education. With a central greenhouse, on-site produce, and space for gardening workshops and learning opportunities, Green Roots aims to create a circular, sustainable grocery system that is both affordable and empowering. It's a space where design meets social impact, blending urban life with the natural world.
