When the user arrives at the location and starts to follow the assigned route, the “farmwalking” – a new fitness activity – which combines farming and walking, and the application starts. The user can increase the surface area of the soil with the ventilation and watering accessories, and sow seeds with the seeding accessory. After the walk is completed, the information of the finished activity is sent to the user.
The goal of the project is to improve nature, for example the soil, while at the same time healing people. WellOn product has the potential to be one of the main tools of this wellness movement that will start on a global scale.
