It's our final year and I want to address an issue that really interests me therefore, I am looking into the possibilities of Urban Farming within Leeds city centre.

Working Narrative:

Challenging the concept of agriculture, exploring where food can be grown through advances in technology therefore reducing the dependencies of imported goods which, reduces the damage of industrial farming to our planet. The proposal will increase the understanding between urban and rural areas reconnecting many people with the concept of growing and eating healthy, organic food. Strong connections with context include the sale of produce through Leeds City Market and redeveloping a new market square.

Here are some videos on the subject of vertical and urban farming. All of which provide ammunition for the pursued scheme.
