Speculative Food-Tray
Cheap Alternative
Its Role
This speculative project explores a modular food tray system designed for families prioritising their children’s nutrition in the face of rising food costs. It responds to shifting habits by offering an affordable, future-facing meal format built around freeze-dried proteins, egg powders, and nutrient-dense packets. Drawing from emergency rations and meal kits, the design supports parents in creating consistent, low-cost meals — not just in low-income regions, but in everyday households adapting to economic pressure.
