It's 2054. The population has soared, cities have expanded, and green spaces are becoming increasingly scarce and distant from workplaces. Artificial Intelligence has made giant strides but has not eliminated the need to work.
Cathy is a single mother: born and raised in the countryside, she wishes her children could grow up close to nature, and she understands the importance of eating healthy, but she cannot move to the countryside due to her job.
Vertical Roots is a space designed for Cathy, and for many others like her.
Its regenerative farming vertical structure allows for the cultivation of a wide variety of products, efficiently managing the space. Vertical Roots leverages AI to grow the food both efficiently and sustainably.
The educational space allows people - especially kids - to get in touch with animals and plants and learn the ways of nature, promoting sustainable behaviour.
Vertical Roots provide proteins and meat as well, but doesn’t slaughter animals: meat cells are taken from cows and pigs living inside the educational space, and using 3D-printing they are replicated.
An app-based trading platform enables community members to exchange surplus food with each other, reducing food waste and fostering a sense of community.
The platform includes features for tracking and managing food inventory, as well as educational resources.
Vertical Roots is a financially self-sufficient space: regenerative agriculture generate removal carbon credits, that can be sold to companies that need to offset their emissions.
Vertical Roots: where nature meets innovation, community thrives.
