Problem The farming spaces in Toronto suburbs are depreciating every year due to market‘s demand in new multimillion dollar projects in new plazas and residential neighborhoods and with farming productions too far from the city, it doesn‘t make sense for us to farm outside. With more than 50 percent of the world‘s population living in the city, there should be food coming from the cities themselves.

Yes, it may be easy to just relocate agriculture in our backyard garden, rooftops or parking lot spaces for those who have the luxury to do that. But for those who don‘t have those types of spaces, there are allotments or community gardens that are great places to farm because they provide rental spaces ranging between 50 and 400 sq mm with tools and shelter.

The only things they don‘t provide are essential systems for growing and protecting food from weather climates during the winter. Farming with natural resources via sun, wind, air, shade and rain is out of our control and sometimes lead to damaging our productions. Majority of our current farming trend also leads to waste due to poor management practices. Propose The need of producing food for the farmer‘s markets, restaurant, food banks and for our own home is greatly needed if we design an urban farm in the city. The intent urban farm is used for community farming using elements of bio-mimicry that will introduce new environments. The propose structure incorporate system for food production, air purification, power generation and waste management.

Food production can become an essential part of the framework and operation of the building, producing bio fuel, filtering water and cooling through the summer while also providing shade. This provides a new brand in urban renewal, sustainable production of safely, taste and personal choice of food. Doesn‘t it make more sense if we grow our food in our city with new methods of technology that will shape how we do production?
