The project features Natural Pollination Crop Pods—compact, modular units enhancing urban agriculture by emulating pollinator strategies for maximum yield. Biodegradable packaging mimicking fungi’s decomposition cycle ensures eco-friendly, compostable solutions. Community Gastronomy Hubs transform locally grown and surplus produce using fermentation methods, extending food life and reducing waste. A Feedback Nutrient System utilizes community waste for bio-fertilizer, promoting sustainable crop growth through nutrient recycling. An interactive app fosters community engagement, optimizing resource distribution with AI insights. By transforming urban food dynamics, BioFeast creates a resilient, interconnected system that minimizes waste, boosts food accessibility, and inspires sustainable practices, embodying a scalable model for a circular, eco-conscious future.
