How can agricultural landscapes address food injustice? What is the impact of soil health on community sustainability? By integrating regenerative soil methods and local planting traditions this project offers a community-driven response to soil degradation, environmental resilience, and food insecurity, fostering lasting ecological and social balance.
Originally operating out of their church, now in the Town Court, Enfield Food Pantry is making do with the small amount of space it has. By conducting extensive research, we are developing a new program and Structure for their recently aquired site.
We first clocked a shift at the pantry. Our community partner Jeanie emphasizes how she wants to empower her patrons, to know how and where their food comes from–to be able to do grow some on their own. My research acts as a starter kit to starting your own at-home garden, no matter the current conditions of the land.
A working model, as an activity, to familarize people with the different physical properties of soils, and how various acts of agricultural intervention can affect it.
