Silver Prize
Title：	Food Necklace
Concept:	The unbalanced situation of food share is getting greater. Some people is in hunger when others make food over-consumption. We can collect the wasted food and the food surplus from the over-consumption area then make the food into the nutrition balls. Whole vegetable or fruit including peel and fresh or root and leaves are made into a ball with the same color as the original vegetable or fruit. Just put the balls into water, milk or soup then it would be a meal. We design a tribal necklace for undernourished people to carry the nutrition balls easily and it suits the tribal clothes very well. After eating the nutrition balls in the necklace for another meal. Food Necklace is now designed to a tic-tac-box-like device for urban people. Nutrition balls are made into the more smaller one foe easier carrying.
Judge's Comments:	In accepting this necklace, those in impoverished regions not only can receive food, but also get a bit of enjoyment. I think it would gladden children particularly. Based on the theme of the serious problem of unequal food distribution, one can see how this work was developed to create a design that incorporates fashion, but from an approach that aims to lower food transport costs by reducing weight through drying. Two styles are presented, one for impoverished regions and one for urban areas, but unfortunately that ends up diluting the overall message slightly.
