A group of Camden teens has come up with one solution to the city's small number of healthy food sources: an urban farm in the heart of downtown, complete with small vegetable gardens and planters.

In designing the project, four LEAP Academy Charter School students teamed up with students from Rutgers-Camden and several of its professors. The resulting proposal depicts hanging gardens and soil beds to be installed along Cooper Street, in front of the buildings that make up LEAP's downtown campus.

The project was part of a student competition organized by the School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers-Newark, which this year hosted its first social justice challenge.

This week, the project submitted by LEAP's students was awarded $5,000 toward bringing the concept to life in the coming year.
