Unbeleafable The DIY kit that will kickstart your urban farming adventure By Aurelia Kriwat
This is the revamped slideshow o Everything that I have written in g during the actua
of my mastery project defense. green is what I would have said al presentation.
In the beginning... The problems with modern agriculture: -
Monoculture Pesticides and their side eects Fertilisers and their side eects
- FOOD MILES
My mastery project started out with me having some thoughts and a little bit of a google deep dive into the topic of agriculture
I thought to myself...
Why is the average of food
How can I make pe And in an attempt to answer the last question, my mastery project was born
e person not aware d miles?
eople more aware?
I made an educationa Original plan: The guide What are hydroponics? - Instructions for building the kit - How do they work? What is the problem? - Explain carbon emissions - Emissions from food (local) - How does urban agriculture help? What is the global context? - Give examples of other urban agriculture movements around the world - Emissions from food (world wide)
al science kit The kit Includes - The guide - All materials needed - A nutrient solution Advertising campaign Consisting of - A social media account - A website To make people more aware of this issue that I was seeing, I planned to create a science kit that teaches people how and why hydroponics work, as well as why they are important with food miles. In an attempt to spread that message, I planned to make an advertising campaign for this kit.
What I ended up with The guide What are hydroponics? - Instructions for building the kit - How do they work? What is the problem? - Explain carbon emissions - Emissions from food (local) - How does urban agriculture help? This is how far I got implementing my plan. It's but I am very happy with the outcome I have.

even though I got my project approved in term 1 of this year, I didn't seriously start working on it until term 3
I got plants to grow hydroponically, just not with the materials that would be included in the kit. At this point I don't know if the kit would work
