The Guide to Free Farming is a handbook to sourcing nutrition in the urban environment, by 5.5 designers for Protofarm 2050.

Protofarm 2050 was commissioned by ICSID for the World Design Congress in Singapore from 23 to 25 November. The brief was to generate preemptive solutions to predicted problems of the future. Commissioning previous Design Indaba speakers – Futurefarmers, 5.5 designers, Dunne&Raby, Revital Cohen and Frank Tjepkema – Protofarm 2050 engages with issues of food security and resourceful environmentalism.

5.5 designers

Since 2003, 5.5 designers have established an enviable reputation, being awarded the Grand Prix de la Création by the Paris City Council after just three years of business. Far from focusing only on shaping objects, 5.5 designers enforce a conceptual rigour that sees them permanently question their design status.
