project 1.4 - experience deviance

By the year 2049, global food systems will face significant challenges due to the impacts of a rapidly changing climate, compounded by the need to feed a population that is nearing 10 billion people. It raises the question of how our food production systems and practices will adapt to accommodate these constraints and fulfill the requirements of a growing population.

In Project 1.4, we embarked on a journey beyond our familiar experiences, stretching our minds to speculate on future food practices. Our approach involved three main steps: Analyze, Project and Synthesize. Through this project, we explored the future of food production, considering the global challenges, and working towards identifying practical and transformative approaches to address these complex issues.

Hydroponic Sysem

Why Hydroponics?

Climate change brings unpredictable weather patterns, including droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures, which can negatively impact traditional agriculture. Hydroponic systems, being indoor and controlled, are less susceptible to weather fluctuations and climate risks. Crops can be grown consistently throughout the year, independent of external climate conditions, ensuring a more reliable food supply. They minimize the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, as the closed-loop system reduces nutrient and water runoff. This decreases the potential for soil and water pollution, protecting ecosystems and human health. Additionally, hydroponics uses less land, reducing the need for excessive land clearing and soil degradation.

By implementing hydroponics in our design we understand that cities now are with limited agricultural capabilities, and encourage hydroponics so communities can have access to fresh, nutritious produce grown locally. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation of food and supports local economies.
