Bloom Market
Across the United States of America, there are hundreds of thousands of food deserts. These communities lack accessible and affordable healthy foods in their area. We found that in our own community of Savannah Georgia, there are multiple areas in the city which are classified as a food desert.
My team set out to design a solution to provide the community of West Savannah, and other locations, with healthy and fresh food by using the future of 5G technology.

The Problem
There are too many Americans that lack meaningful access to fresh, healthy food close to their homes and neighborhoods.
The Solution
Bloom Market is a farm to community connector, bringing people together over something we can all agree on: everyone deserves easily accessible, healthy, nutritious food.
Boom Market works via a network of highly mobile, autonomous vehicles bringing farm fresh food to your neighborhood on both a daily and on-demand basis.
““People have to wait a whole week to get something [from Farm Truck 912]… if you run out of something, and you have a grocery store there, you are going to go right then and there.””
““A demand for healthy food will cause a change.””
Survey & Interview Insights
Government policies make healthy choices more difficult.
The West Savannah community has become disconnected as a result of low visibility, historic disenfranchisement, and stereotypical narratives.
There exists a community demand for fresh, healthy food.
