About Studio van der Zandt
ROOTS consists of a team of two designers. Jessica Guy and Emily Whyman met studying the Master in Design for Emergent Futures, based at IAAC Barcelona, in which both worked on the Nextfood & Growstack Aeroponic system. ROOTS is now expanding it's horizons and will be permanently located at an urban food lab in Poblenou, Barcelona. ROOTS is dedicating its time towards fostering an agrotech community in which all subscribed are dedicated towards creating a secure FOODture, that is delicious!
