Future food systems for regeneration in 2125
Key contributions:
- Collaboratively mapped problems in food systems.
- Mapped trends and drivers around regenerative agriculture to create future scenarios.
- Developed diegetic prototypes to understand soil needs through sound and conversation.
Artefact 1: Soil Sense
SoilSense is a functional prototype that helps us gather and amplify signals from the soil, enabling deeper interaction and understanding. We focused on sound as a medium, listening closely to the soil when we become quiet. To develop this, we listened to soil recordings, studied research papers on Biotremology, and collected similar sound samples from Soundly. Using Adobe Audition, we amplified and modified these sounds, interpreting them as different elemental voices enhanced by more refined technologies in the future.
