Space Apps Challenge 2017

Project CÉRÈS

For many years, in the name of science and technical advances, we have introduced GMOs and pesticides into our cultivation practices.

These chemicals and organisms were designed to quickly increase global food production and address the problem of hunger in the world. Time shows us that although it was an alternative to save humanity from famine, the environment took a serious blow.

We find bitterly that the land is degraded, the water is polluted. Men, who are the main actors in these actions, are more exposed to carcinogenic diseases arising from these practices.

How can we then return to the natural by producing and consuming healthy and nutritious foods available at a lower cost while preserving nature.

Garden is an application that allows all households who want to eat healthily, to benefit from a detailed but simple guide for the hydroponic cultivation of several varieties of vegetables and fruits. Garden also offer the follow-up of the crops and the reminders of a crop watering.
