The practices of the rural are now, more than ever, invading into the urban. The predominant model of the current global food system is the predominant model by which food is produced and then ultimately arrives to our tables. However, growing health and environmental concerns have created a sort of backlash to this system and people are making more conscious choices about what they eat and from where it derives. The strategy of the 4 urban interventions in the city of Basel will be one that facilitates a more locally integrated system that scales down the steps associated with the current model. Inherent in the approach is a deliberate effort to eliminate the effect of food miles and create a more direct link to food sources.
