Healing an Environment and Feeding a Population
Abstract
The intent of this design thesis is to examine a sustainable
solution for an urban plan in southwest Fargo that includes using
urban agriculture as a tool to encourage recycling gray water
and promoting a solution to the growing food and water shortage
problem. Examining a city’s need for implementing an urban
agriculture policy into their city plan will help to create a sustainable and renewable food resource. The design solution for this thesis will include an urban farm as well as a plan for stormwater management in the area surrounding the farm. The design for this urban farm will also create a gathering place for people from a wide spectrum of social and economic statuses to increase community interactions.
