Some urban farming projects around the world
Found some urban farming projects initiated by artists and architects. PetPuja is quite similar in scope to many of these efforts, and so have much to learn from them.
Fallen Fruit, is “an activist art project which started as a mapping of all the public fruit in our neighborhood.” (USA)
Edible Estates is an “an ongoing series of projects to replace the front lawn with edible garden landscapes responsive to culture, climate, context and people!” It “proposes the replacement of the domestic front lawn with a highly productive edible landscape.” (USA)
Dott07: Urban Farming was a massive, effort to “increase local food production and reduce food miles.” It culminated in a “banquet for 1,500 in the town’s main square. Participants in the growing project created the menu from produce they’d harvested. Local producers provided meat and vegetables to supplement the meal, which was cooked and eaten in the open air.” (UK)

The City Planting Farm Modules “enable persons to grow plants in cities.” The modules are made of fibre cloth, soil and water hose and are made into flexible forms. One situation can be seen in the image above. Lot more interesting images on the site.
