01 FORDAM FARM
University Project
YEAR: SPRING 2021

LOCATION: Rockford, IL, USA
The south west side of Rockford, Illinois has been neglected over the years due to political, economical and racial issues. This left this once rich and bustling area with little resources, and a poorly designed built environment.
After developing a master plan to revitalize this area my classmates and I began to develop individual projects.
I chose an urban farm because I believe it will greatly serve the community by inspiring and educating the people of the neighborhood, provide jobs, offer inexpensive healthy food options, and create an economically sustainable systems, This project will lead to a better physical health. Studies show that a better physical health will also lead to a better mental health because the brain in receiving better nutrition. Furthermore, the opportunity to connect with neighbors and make friends leads to better emotional health as well.
