Future S.E.T's Projects

In 2025 Future S.E.T. began a project to build the first installment of our youth-led Agri-Tech Research Centre. This took the form of an advanced hydroponic greenhouse in Essex County, with the aim of providing fresh, culturally relevant produce for school meal programs across the Windsor-Essex region. By working with schools within the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB), our goal is to reach dozens of local schools and thousands of students - directly boosting access to nutritious, accessible food for marginalized, racialized, newcomer, low-income, and immigrant families. Follow us and stay tuned! We’ll be sharing real-time updates as the greenhouse construction progresses to our grand opening in 2026!

20 for 20: The Hydroponic Mission is a groundbreaking Future S.E.T. initiative to provide year-round culturally relevant food access to 20 Black communities across Ontario. This 2025 winter, we are providing free of charge, a complete hydroponic growing system and one year of free growing, training, and agri-tech support to 20 Black-serving organizations in the province. Backed by provincial funding, this project is designed to fight food insecurity in Black communities, where nearly 1 in 2 Black Ontarians struggle to access consistent, affordable, culturally relevant food. By growing fresh culturally relevant produce locally, The 20 for 20 will aid Black communities in creating long-term food sovereignty. Follow us and stay tuned as we share real-time updates from our youth-led mission to transform food access across Ontario!
