Project Global: Ground

This exploration of our current day metropolitan condition as a system of systems deals with the crust of the Earth as a primary carrying capacitor of human activities, from the extraction of resources deep within the ground, to agricultural operations that barely scratch the surface.

Urban Farm

Johannesburg city center

Currently, there are 12 urban farms in Johannesburg and the number of it is on the rise. However, most of them are small and commercial farms. The three urban farms in the heart of Johannesburg, covered in this contribution, are based on communities with neighbors. Farmers, which started with the goal of supplying food materials to nearby residents, are gradually growing in size, and are increasing productivity by creating websites that deliver to nearby marts and sellproducts directly. The three farms are located adjacent to residential areas and are operated with the participation of neighbors.
