Urban Farm

Nicely stated: Urban Agriculture project: "The Urban Farm Project aims to create an agricultural food hub in the heart of the city. Its story is centered on local food production, distribution and education. It is a shared vision to strengthen our city’s food strategy and bring local food issues to the forefront. The proposal’s multi-story tower and landscaped podium showcases a unique mix of programs centered on food that includes a new space for the Greater Food Bank of Vancouver, a vertical urban farm, a farmers’ market as well as academic and research spaces related to food science. In whole, it serves as an organized central hub that aims to improve local food issues such as distribution, equity and education. The synthesis and organization of this complex program and the requirements of multiple stakeholders were central to MGA’s initial work task."
