Overview
Become a uFarmer! A workshop with artist/engineer/activist/experimenter extraordinaire, Natalie Jeremijenko to create your very own AgBag.
Learn about xClinic’s Farmacy, a distributed urban farm aimed at encouraging urban food production, diversifying food systems and improving environmental health. Then construct your own Jeremijenko-designed durable, efficient AgBag, and fill it with uFoods. The uFoods are curated and cultivated for their extremely high nutrition value (including the colorful alpha-carotenes, polyphenols and micronutrients that equip an urban body cope with the assault of urban pollutants).

We have some ideas we would like to run by u.
