Our project is located in a small agricultural community in India’s Punjab region, a state that’s well-known as the agricultural hub of the country - especially in terms of rice and wheat production. “Growing from Within” directly addresses the critical issues of mass-production and agricultural waste that’s created as a result of this, which is the single most reason behind heavy air pollution in many cities due to burning of the stubs and other leftover by-products. Our project harnesses novel AI methods for analysis, and generative techniques for discovery of new material compositions and “recipes” that reutilizes waste into various construction and production related materials; from bricks to textiles, to prevent heavy carbon emissions and air pollution, as well as empower these communities with more diverse forms of societal contribution and production.
