How Urban Agriculture can Transform Cities
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations1, 38 percent of the Earth’s land is used for agriculture, two-thirds of which is for grazing livestock. FAO also notes that “conversion from natural ecosystems to agriculture has historically been the largest cause of greenhouse gas emissions”. Population pressure and the climate emergency mean things have to change. We need to find new space to grow food, and drastically cut meat consumption. Urban agriculture is the key, but it is still a tiny part of food production. The city can provide new agricultural territory, and its output is largely plants. [...]

[...]

The life cycle of a building consists of consecutive phases, and over time, its original function may diminish. This change can affect any building, but it is also a great opportunity for adaptive reuse. [...]
