Abstract

The recent interest of hacker and maker communities in the optimization of everyday food practices connects the urban geek and foodie movements with traditional food cultures. The present DIY experiments with urban food fermentation show a growing citizens' interest in alternative models of food production and distribution. That was a starting point for the GutHub project conceived around practices of DIY food fermentation to support local food sustainability in Singapore. The community of enthusiasts gathered around the GutHub project has designed a number of technological tools to augment the fermentation efforts. In this paper, we present data from eight months long engagements with the GutHub community. We elaborate on the advantages and limitations of such DIY food-Tech efforts and situate the findings in the context of HCI discussions on urban food sustainability.
