In the future, food preservation will be increasingly tied to proximity farming, especially for what concerns fruit and vegetables.
In the past eighteen months, food insecurity caused by climate change and by the pandemic, sparked a surge in indoor gardening. More than a quarter of American consumers claim they have started a vegetable garden because of the pandemic, according to a 2021 survey by market research company Packaged Facts. According to the Korea Invention Promotion Association, the internal market for plant cultivation will grow by 50 times in 4 years, skyrocketing from 7 billion euros in 2019 to a whopping 368 billion forecasted for 2023.
SURVIVAL CELLS FOR FOOD
Two concepts to fight food waste
Some designers are working at solutions to keep food that's left out of the fridge, either leftovers or items waiting to be eaten. Yoonji Park created Odny.BOX, a kind of transparent dome that can keep food, hot or cold, in the best conditions for several hours. Yu Seojoung also worked on the issue and came up with Mother's Heart, inspired by the traditional Sang bo, a sort of blanket used in Korea to keep food at its optimal temperature. The system can be set on the desired temperature and keep food hot or cold according to need.
