In this near future, severe weather conditions and global food shortages are prevalent. Humans are collectively exploring alternative relationships with food in an effort to mitigate carbon emissions from refrigeration and industrial food production. Compact systems embedded in the windows of urban residents' apartments become a site for in-house hydroponics and fermentation, allowing for self-sufficient food production, processing, and preservation.

This innovative approach confronts the standardization and mass production of food. It reclaims our relationship to food and our participation in its cultivation, building community and awareness of our connection to the environment. This compact system offers a glimpse into a hopeful and sustainable future, where people are empowered to embrace a more conscious and collaborative approach to food production and consumption, reducing carbon emissions while promoting urban agriculture and cultural exchange.
