To Feed a City

As more people around the globe are moving into cities each year, the Western diet is becoming more readily apparent - a diet that is not necessarily healthy nor sustainable.

How we produce our food and feed our cities is an escalating problem. Agriculture and cities are bound together and are dependent on eachother. The modern food system has distanced us from nature. Rather than importing food from far-off, massive monoculture fields we need to produce more food within the cities we reside.



For more information, listen to Carolyn Steel talk about "How food shapes our cities" on TED Talks.
