FOOD CITY
2011
Driven by issues including food insecurity, food waste, health, and environmental impacts, this project asked: What if a city of 1.000.000 inhabitants could produce all the food necessary to feed its inhabitants? Based on the average European diet, the "Hidden Structure" visualizes land use and water use required to grow and process food, production yields and food waste at each stage of the production process, and flows of food, waste, and water between agriculture, processing plants and the city for this "Food City".
