            Natural disasters, socio-political upheavals, and the perils of climate change threaten the food sources for millions. Fresh produce, with essential vitamins and minerals, becomes scarce in the aftermath of these disasters, especially in refugee camps, disaster-hit areas and rural areas suffering from food insecurity. 
MEPA is a solution tailored for the Earth's challenging conditions where traditional agriculture either proves challenging or where food aid needs to be alleviated or transformed. 
This closed-loop hydroponic system, which has been heavily influenced by space research, offers a quick, deployable answer to food scarcity. With the capability to transform terrains - be it deserts, post-disaster zones, or rooftops - into self-sustainable food gardens.
