ECDYSIS REPLICA
Concept of a cycle-oriented and automated insect farm
How might we innovate protein production methods to be space-efficient, sustainable and focusing on animal welfare, to accommodate the growing demands of our population?
In a world where the population is constantly growing and resources are becoming increasingly scarce, we are faced with the challenge of finding innovative solutions for food production. Space on earth is becoming increasingly scarce and traditional agricultural methods are reaching their limits. It is therefore time to break new ground and develop alternative approaches to meet the growing demand for food in a sustainable way.
Mealworm protein has proven to be a promising and sustainable source of protein. Not only is it rich in essential nutrients, it is also extremely resource-efficient and environmentally friendly to produce. Mealworms can be bred in vertical farms and require less water, land and feed compared to conventional livestock farming. Their rapid growth and high reproduction rate make them an ideal source of protein for the future.
ECDYSIS REPLICA is a concept for a cycle-oriented and automated insect farm. An idea that brings a vision into a visual language to be discussed. This speculative design approach raises the question of how far we can go in combining industrialized automation and the lives of animals to create a better future for us humans.
