With natural fertilizers, students grow crops such as lettuce, kale, broccoli, cucumber, melon, and much more. The net cover protects organic crops from harmful insects.

Crops here are grown without soil and instead rely on a farm-made solution, thereby optimizing space, nutrients and water.

This house’s tender can use two ingredients – widely available straw and a spore solution – to produce, in a 4 by 6 meter building, up to 100 kilos of mushrooms a month. The building on-site grows its fair share of mushrooms, but first and foremost serves as a model in TTP’s Mushroom Project, the purpose of which is building replicas at Cambodian schools where children are educated in growing it themselves. So far, we have built 17 houses and plan to expand!

In our classroom, our pupils can learn pen-to-paper when they aren’t learning hand-to-soil. The building is 8 by 16 meters and has housed class sessions of up to 50 students. Currently, we are constructing a co-ed dormitory to open our doors to all interested, in-need Cambodians.

The dormitory provides any Cambodian the opportunity to learn from our farming practices, removing barriers to access. It is split between gender by two rooms and can house dozens of guests at a time. Amenities include wifi, electricity, a veranda, and stand-alone outhouse, complete with a shower and toilet.
