Cacto is a new food-storage product that exploits the natural process of evaporation to create the ideal environment for preserving fruit and vegetables. Cacto promotes a healthier diet aimed at respecting seasonality through the emancipation of food needs from the use of electricity. The product is thought for the rural populations of the Mediterranean basin in 2030 when, due to the rise in temperatures and more widespread dryness, energy poverty will become a primary issue.
