Local is a startup dedicated to growing food in unused urban spaces. Its aim is to provide citizens with high-quality, pesticide-free, healthy food with a low ecological impact. The crops operate under an intensive production model in highly sophisticated aeroponic HPA (high pressure aeroponics) urban crops connected through the internet.
It is a technology that allows us to produce what we eat in the cities themselves, greatly minimizing transport, land, water, and energy use. The project is based on three areas: technology, biology, and architecture.
It was created in 2019, co-developed by me and two other professionals in order to produce healthy vegetables without worrying about their origin, management, and the whole cultivation process.
We started implementing the idea on the terrace of our office, growing lettuce and other vegetables hydroponically. Then, with the experience gained in both germination and cultivation, we incorporated technology to automate these processes and replicate them anywhere.
Our dedication allowed us to obtain financial support from the government that helped us pay for the facilities and materials we needed to validate the basis of the project. Currently, we are still iterating, hoping to acquire more resources for the development of other areas we have planned. Some of them are automation, electrical self-sufficiency, expansion of the modules, and mass production of crops.
My role in this project was as the head of art, responsible for branding, creating renderings, and prototyping. This project has been an excellent opportunity for me to develop my skills in the 3D world and iterate real prototypes.
