2009-201 2009-2010 099-2 aisc competition urban rban farm far / culinary arts fa The he program was driven by the closure the largest urban farming establishment in the U.S. no more than 3 miles from the site, South Central entral Far Farms [14 acres of public farming]. The plan is to mediate and promote urban farming within the city of Los Angeles. Something that in hand with fresh produce and food was cooking. I decided to share this urban farming program with a culinary arts h t wentt hand h school to give the space an educational component. The way to two programs are tied together for interaction are through student based restuarants and community farmers markets that occur within large public courtyard. There is a constant cycle of producing, educating, urban community interaction, consuming, and recycling.
