1/10th Project
Much of this research is
based on the early findings of The New Alchemy Institute, a group that pioneered
investigations into organic agriculture, aquaculture, and bioshelter design
between 1969 and 1991.
For most people, eating
organic means a trip to the local whole foods store and, often, a hit to their
wallets. Yet, eating organic requires only a trip to the garden. Unfortunately,
in many dense urban settings such as New York City, access to gardens is rare
and often impossible. The average American's diet requires 1.2 acres of
farmland per person, yet studies have shown that this number could easily be
reduced to 1/10 of an acre (43,560 sq. ft) producing roughly 6000 lbs. (2,722
kg) of food per year; enough to feed a family of 4. The 1/10 Project is an
ongoing research proposal looking into growth methods, crop yield and the
impact of vertical gardens within an urban context.
