final proposal
1. Existing food infrastructure
2. Need for employement
incoming density
farmers markets and grocery stores
hunt’s point
7.6% unemployed
proposed morphology to provide 50% more housing with 30 percent affrdable housing
regional supply strategies
food consumed 461.44 acres for population of 6592
500lbs of veggies
production
where the food is grown, raised, or manufactured. the goal is to produce 20% of food requirement on site thrpugh urban farms divided in private, semi private, community gardens.
distribution
movement of food from the point of origin to the point of consumption, through various types of suppliers and distributors. The bike delivery system in the neighbrhood provides sustainable system.
0.07 acres
per capita food consumption per year
percent of agricultural produce brought in externally
3. proposed food infrastructure projected population growth of the district
13083 per sq. mile
8177 per sq.mile
projected density by 2050
732.69 acres of food consumption required by 2050 for a population of 10467 provided 71 acres, 10 % of total required
consumption
where food is purchased by or served to a consumer. Points of consumption may include supermarkets, farmers markets that we introduce.
2.75 acres in red hook (added value) =40,000 pounds =567 people 2.5 acres of broklyn grange= 50,000 pounds= 600 people
Required for population of 2050- 52.5 acres, proposed urban farms provide 71 acres!
