FEED THE WORLD
Shenkar fashion and textile students were given a study by The School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania entitled Feed the World.

AgriActive
Students: Nitsan Biran, Ella Oren
Additional Mentors: Maya Arazi, Hadas Himmelschein, Alisa Levinton
Problem: After visiting and researching modern farms students discovered that agriculture is irrelevant to the young “urban” generation. Previously, farmers and agronomists were regarded as the core of society so students felt farming should be reintroduced to urban life.
Solution: Create AgriActive, a clothing line designed for urban farming, agricultural workwear styled with ‘sports chic’ using fabrics that breathe and repel sweat and soil. Targeted at young urbanites the aim of AgriActive is to accelerate the trend for community gardens within cities where people share responsibilities and come together to grow food.
