Insight Statement
Cesar: according to your insight, it's not about food and scale, it is about mental and emotional health. So think less about maximizing production / use of space, but rather find which plants provides the greatest emotional benefits. A plant like verbena is supposed to make people feel more relaxed and good for health: https://www.verywellhealth.com/vervain-health-benefits-4587384#:~:text=Verbena tea has long been,treat "over-enthusiasm."
Out of the all the drawings below, ask your new refugees friend, which would be the most pleasing to watch, or maintain everyday.

- Bag gardening is common
- NGOs are giving programmes with seeds of bamboo and gardening tools (mat)
- Gardening is common, every house do gardening
- The vertical plastic bottle system is good because it takes up less space and could be applied on flat surface
- Gardening provides supplemental nutrition
- Gardening empowers people

- Women do farming in the camp
- Think about making the camp to become a 'Green Camp" because lots of vegetation was removed when the camp was built
- Plastic bottle system could work well

- Beautiful illustration, detailed material and structure
- Really interesting choice of material, seems really feasible
- Like it integrated with the house
- Very much like the idea of using the already available materials
- A great collection of different options utilizing existing materials and structure. What type of plants are feasible in the different prototypes? How many family can they support?
- I'm not sure how they can continuously get their nutritional supply for the plant and this does not seem very sustainable

- Board for eco-cooler shall be waterproof
- Board of eco-cooler may reduce sunlight, may consider transparent materials?
- Think about who to maintain it? Targeting family or community facilities?
- Should add drain holes for planter
- Think about painting bottles with different colours or some decoration? Add some aesthetic values to the prototype
- PVC pipe may actually be cheaper than bamboo and easier to cut
- Besides wildflowers, herbs or mosquitos-repellent plants may be a good idea
- May adjust the prototype to fit existing openings of structure (e.g. door)

Project Manage
To help you manage your project, I suggest using a simple project management system like a Kanban/Trello board. Don't forget to
- Be specific with the task. Link to the source
- Assign one person per task. Of course, you can collaborate, but one person is responsible for the completion of one task
- Deadline. So that your team can coordinate and nothing falls between the cracks.
Feedback
- Workshop would be good for kids to have activities
- Doubt if we can make money out of this
- It's something useful
- Sometimes it's cloudy during rainy seasons and could be cool in the camp, weather could get really hot during summer too
