If you're an individual who spends quite a bit of time in airports, you know you're better off packing snacks before checking in to avoid the low-nutrient (and over-priced) fare available  between flights. Perhaps someday planning ahead won't be such a necessity, however, if all airports follow the lead of JetBlue, an airline inspired to improve the taste and nutrition of food served at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The first airline to do something so epic, JetBlue seeks to improve the food offered to travelers by opening its own "farm" at JFK.

As ABC News reports, a 24,000 square-foot (less than half the size of a football field) plot of land will be farmed outside of JFK's Terminal 5. Most of the food grown will be utilized in restaurants in the airport, and the rest will be donated to food banks in the city.

The aim of the farm is two-fold: to help people become more educated on farming, and to improve the exterior appearance of the terminal. Win-win!

In order to make the eco-friendly venture possible, JetBlue teamed up with GrowNYC, a non-profit environmental group focused on improving New York City's environment.
