The fact that sometimes we change the recipe on the spot, figuring out the most efficient way to do things, hearing the different opinions of the chefs, the skills and thought processes that they are teaching are things that will help us even beyond the culinary realm. Prince Francis, Culinary Management Student Slide DC is a leader when it comes to growing innovation. They’re really getting into alternative growing methods, which will be key to the future of farming and agriculture. We must learn how to grow indoors, with hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. We have to grow vertically.
