Today being green is a nightmare. everywere are advertises of eco, bio, sustainable, recycled, reused, re-friki-local.. and all you want to do is save some coins, eat fresh, make some new friends and not contribute to any major environmental damage on the opposite point of your only planet :) we propose to build 2 mobile applications. one to help you on producing your own food and another to take sustainable consumer decisions based on your location.
Description
Urban agriculture raises the quantity and quality of fresh food to the cities, promotes intergenerational exchanges, cultural and gastronomic mixes, building nodes of solidarity and finantial independency.
