OASIS is a hub for climate change resilience.
OASIS’ central urban agriculture takes place in climate-controlled growing spaces, creating both year-round access to community-sourced food, as well as on-site capacity for emergency/extreme weather food and water distribution. It means that no matter the fluctuation in weather and growing seasons, OASIS is producing quality food.
With the reductions in food transportation that the model enables, OASIS is contributing to significant reductions in carbon and nitrogen emissions related to our current way of doing food; and, significantly reduces the amount of food wasted or lost between the farm and the table.
