Urban farming. I have been seeing many more of these images lately. This urgent need for good food, close food and cheep food - especially in urban poor neighborhoods. These new models explore farming as architecture.
How does this concept work within the local/neighborhood/community? And what other sort of programming works within the field of farming? What are the schedules of the crops in relation to the local inhabitants, day v. night, seasonal? What sort of local wildlife (birds/pidgins/rats!) can become included/avoided within the activities of urban farming? How is energy created, used, processed, transfered (sun, light, electric, gas, oil?) Educational, social and cultural values?
How is it accessed, transportation? pick up? delivery?
