Episode Synopsis

Vertical Harvest is a farm that has transformed the growing season in Jackson – which is usually just four months long. They took a plot of land downtown — and went vertical.

It has become a model project others seek to emulate, not only because it supplies food year-round, but also because it is employing people with special abilities.I believe that architects have the power to shape communities. Architecture can be more than just a box, or more than just four walls. We can ask, “What do we want it to do? What do we want this building to achieve?”--  Nona YehiaGo to futurefood.fm for show notes, transcripts and articles about this topic.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
