The Smart Citizen Kit can be leveraged to help you forward your food technology initiative in many different ways. It has sensors for temperature, light, humidity, particulate matter in the air and can be outfitted with additional sensors for other types of interventions.
Lastly, the Grow Observatory platform can further show how to use the Smart Citizen Kit to grow food. The platform connects you to other 'growing' communities across Europe.
The Fab Lab Barcelona Repository on Github is where we openly store projects and artefacts that we develop at Fab Lab Barcelona. In the repository, you can find everything from a soil moisture sensor to a solar charger and information on the Distributed Design Platform website.
This tool is frequently used by the Fab Lab team for the development of the and more. The tool should help you forecast what you want to do (plan), then what you develop, then what you test and bring you back to the next iteration of planning.

The Smart Citizen Kit is also accompanied by a methodology on community-based interventions that can prove a useful guide to how to create tech by and with communities. Data from the Smart Citizen Kit can be shared open source on the , enabling communities to share data and compare themselves to other environments.
The Reflection Tree is meant to help you reflect on where your project is on its journey to becoming Distributed Design. The Tree is meant to encourage creatives to think about your work at different stages of development and inspire you to continue connecting to the Distributed Design values: open, collaborate, regenerate, and ecosystemic. You can learn more about the Reflection Tree and directly access the public MIRO board template by .
