Quint & Matthew Redmond: Agriburbia: Building the Infrastructure for the Next Generation of Food

Описание: The Craig Johnson Lecture

About the Lecture:
Agriburbia is a land use concept ( and the name of our company) based ont he principal that many of the food, energy, water, and health problems we currently face as a human population can be directly addressed by moving the point of production of our food to as close to point of its consumption as possible. Intentional design incorporating a food as piece of infrastructure will be critical moving forward to create a more sustainable planet and human population. We will look at some of the adverse macro trends we face today and how we can leverage good design with new technologies to create real 'human habitat.'
