Unique Properties: Iron stick yam is a perfect example of Eastern food nourishment culture. In China, many yams are planted for a season every year. The quality of yams declines, compromising the nutritional value of the yams. We built this product of “Ten-year Planting Cycle Yam Powder”. It takes a decade to cultivate the land, and only one season of yam is grown every ten years. Yam farmed in such fertile and robust land to absorb rich nutrients. The iron stick yam pulp is directly made into powder.

Design Challenge: How to use the design to embody the cultivation of yams in this 10 years of waiting and persevering, how farmers constantly improve the soil quality, persevering for 10 years, what has the land gained? What did yams gain? What can consumers get from yams?
Research: We will wait 10 years, 10 years of effort, with visual performance, let the consumer perception. Many consumers have been shocked by the idea of a quarter of yams after 10 years of hard work, and the products have been selling well.
Inspiration: On the current market, most yams are planted for a season every year. 10, represents the planting cycle of the land is ten years. In this cycle, no crops are farmed on the land. The yams grown on this land ten years later are extremely nourishing. We take elements from swallows in springs, cicadas in summers, busy farming in falls, cedars in winters, and plowing farmers, turned into a visual symbol of "10" to show the season change in the decade, and depict them on the delicate box.
Project Duration: The project was launched in Zhengzhou in April 2020, completed in Zhengzhou in July 2020.
