What if Fayetteville’s new development enabled the city to sustain its food budget through a local urban agriculture network?
Food City devises a model transition vocabulary for developing an urban food production system beyond the scale of the individual garden. The scenario plan envisions the foodshed as an ecological municipal utility, featuring green infrastructure, public growscapes, and urban spaces related to food processing, distribution, and consumption. Food City reclaims a missing middle scale of agricultural land use between the backyard garden and the industrial farm.
