Nature
The increase of natural disasters such as flooding, storms and droughts have consequences for food security in developing countries
How can the mobile architecture provide food security against climate change?
War
Short and long-term food crises can be attributed to human conflict
In war, food sometimes becomes a weapon. Soldiers will starve opponents into submission by seizing or destroying food and livestock and systematically wrecking local markets. Fields and water wells are often mined or contaminated, forcing farmers to abandon their land.
Can the mobile architecture resolve internal conflict? Can it provide spaces for refuge?
Poverty Trap
In developing countries, farmers often cannot afford seed to plant the crops that would provide for their families. Craftsmen lack the means to pay for the tools to ply their trade. Others have no land or water or education to lay the foundations for a secure future.
Provision of seedlings will need to be accompanied with some sort of structure that will enable long-term growth and production as climate change may see difficulties in agriculture production.
Over-exploitation of environment
Poor farming practices, deforestation, overcropping and overgrazing are exhausting the Earth's fertility and spreading the roots of hunger.
How can the proposal educate farmers about effective practices?
