Texas, US, 21st May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Marc Walraven, founder of UrbanRooted Innovations and a leading voice in low-tech urban farming, has officially launched his new website: https://www.marcwalravenfortworth.com/. The platform serves as a central hub for his hands-on methods, community work, and aeroponic system designs—all aimed at helping individuals and communities grow fresh food using minimal space, water, and complexity.
“This site is a place for people who want to grow their own food but don’t know where to start,” Walraven says. “I’ve built it to be straightforward—just like the systems I teach.”
The site features resources for building vertical aeroponic systems at home, including diagrams, supply lists, workshop sign-ups, and real-life case studies from schools and neighbourhood groups in Fort Worth. Walraven’s SkyGrow towers, which grow plants without soil and run on solar energy, are also introduced through detailed guides that avoid unnecessary jargon or tech.
“I wanted a place where someone with no engineering background could learn how to build something real,” says Walraven. “You don’t need Wi-Fi or fancy tools. You just need the will to start small and grow from there.”
The new site also includes:
-
A project gallery of community installations
-
Simple how-to videos for beginners
-
A schedule of Marc’s upcoming workshops and speaking events
-
Articles and blog posts on food access, design simplicity, and grassroots innovation
The launch comes as more cities face growing concerns over food insecurity and the need for resilient, local solutions. According to the USDA, millions of Americans still live in food deserts—urban and rural areas without easy access to healthy, affordable food.
“Technology can help,” Walraven says. “But only if people can actually use it. This website is about giving people the tools to take control—without needing to download another app or spend a fortune.”
Visit https://www.marcwalravenfortworth.com/ to explore practical tools for growing your own food, learn how to build a vertical garden from everyday materials, and find out how simplicity can power local change. Whether you’re in a classroom, apartment, or neighbourhood centre—this site is for you.
