CITYFARM

Austin´s Urban Farming Experience

VIEW FROM LADY BIRD LAKE POPULATION: Austin, TX doubles its population every 20 years.

HISTORY: For every acre of land cultivated in a high-rise urban farm, 10 to 20 acres of current cropland could go wild.

IMPORT: By 2050 Austin would inhabit nearly 3.3 million people. To feed a city that size, one would need to import 2,2 tons (as shown above) of food every day.

EMISSION: Food related part of total CO2 emissions in the U.S. per person a year.

OBESITY: One out of three U.S. citizens shows signs of obesity.

HEALTH: Numbers of years you can live longer with the help of a healthy diet.

INCOME: 30% of the average Americans income is spent on food.
