A food journey
Define, Empathy, Exchange, Ideate,
The excretes was to go through a contextually rich user journey, pick a branch/outcome and find a creative solution.
Our problem was how to address a family that had scarce food, causing the mother sacrifice her meal for her children.
Our group identified the problem as a two part special
We needed to address the mother's need to feed herself to create a healthy environment for the whole family.
- This could be done by educating her on the importance on keeping herself healthy as it effects her children aswell, e.g. having less energy, poorer decisions etc.
- We also proposed a nutrition plan for living on a budget, focussing on low cost, nutritionally dense foods
Our immediate solution was to flip scarce food and source excess food
Our proposition was to approach restaurants and ask them to donate excess food.
We theorised a system where volunteers would collect this food and either deliver it to the families or to an independent distribution centre (by passes wait time at food bank).
The project could be community or business funded, where the donation of the volunteers is time.
Ideally there would be an individual/ business that organised the pick up and delivery for one night of the week, thus sharing the workload.
Other sources of food could include supermarkets and farmers markets and community gardens.
Possible clients would include local businesses, churches.
Feedback
Good work for thinking of a journey
- discussing the elements of the solution
- possible trajectories
Why was this exercise useful?
It reiterated the importance of the design process and how valuable creative thinking is. Yay! Go Design!
