Cake Kibb : Inspire agriculture industriesto a zero-emission future.

Johansson, Fanny January 2022 (has links)
CAKE Kibb is proposing a possible mobility solutionfor regenerative agriculture that suits better within thev alues that comes with it. A non disturbing vehicle both physically and chemically that can help throughout the day of a farmers lifestyle, in a diverse and modular manner. Agriculture is now one of the industries that contributes to the most greenhouse emissions in theworld. This is slowly killing our soil and prevents a healthy growth, so the industry is at this point slowly killing it self. With Regenerative agriculture the aim is to harness the healing powers of earth itself to have healthy regenerative growth. At this time the access to non pollutant transportation and machines is very limited. With the very diverse tasks that is required, a modular small mobility could be a good solution for the farms going towards regenerative agriculture. What if this could inspire farmers to choose a more sustainable mobility solution in their daily tasks.Would it be possible to move around on a farm with minimal impact? With the experience the author has from living on a horse ranch growing up she knows the respect you have for the animals and earth. She cant see why this would not be interesting for more farmers or ranchers wanting to respect the things they already spend all day nurturing for optimal growth and well-being. The process that follows was set out from the research made around the topic and from what was concluded from user interviews. With the projects set time frame (year - 2030) the project is highly dependent on current technology, rules and regulations. This puts quite tight restrains on what the vehicle can come to be. If the goal is to reduce the impact agriculture has on our earth is it even ethical to create something more that would move around on it? The conclusion made was that even if this contributes to the consumer society, agriculture is vital for human life on earth. So, here is a chance to inspire towards a more sustainable, zero emission direction of handling agriculture. In this project it is easy to imagine a whole arsenal of accessories and functions it could have but the author has decided to limit the development of these to a few given scenarios and leave a gap for imagination for other opportunities. The focus will therefore be on the main vehicle and a few accessories connected to the scenarios but not in as high refinement as the main vehicle. There is no ambition in innovating new tools for farming more so create a way to use the current methods in a more sustainable way with the principals of regenerative agriculture in mind.
