Agriculture in the future

The majority of the world today live in urban areas.
This proportion is growing rapidly, and in 2050 estimated the population could reach 70 percent of the world's population.

When city life becomes increasingly dominant, we became increasingly distant from our food sources.
On average, large cities to import 6,000 tons of food each day, with an average distance of 1700 miles between farmers and consumers.
These statistics convey two key points: the urban population is very much can be disconnected from their food source, and delivery system of agriculture is highly dependent on fuel.

This prototype is a response to the inefficiency of the current system, and aims to empower urban residents to produce food in their daily lives.
Designed as an affordable and easy to use.
