The Soilmate had a prominent role in the action. The Soilmate is a product developed by Nature & More to draw consumers' attention to the subject of soil degradation. It consists of a small purple box containing organic vine tomatoes, compost and basil seeds, as well as information about the soil issue and an appeal to the consumer to get involved in urban farming.
