A Framework for a Resilient Hebbal
Self-Sufficiency Analysis
Rapid Growth
The growing population in Banglore as a city that provides a better prospect of life is putting pressure on the rural area. The increasing amount of food to feed the increasing population demands for a greater area of land for food productions.
Food Wastage Banglore is one of the biggest food producer for the world but according to a study by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), they are currently not producing enough for their own citizens, making them vulnerable in terms of self-sufficiency.
Consumption Analysis Producing food for 9,641 residents living in 59.3 acres, equivalent of Hebbal requiring a land of 70 times more which spreads out to a 21.5 mile radius.
Household Income Analysis The rapid population growth is expected to increase significantly in the coming years as the city provides more job opportunities. This effectively impacts the rural area with the increase demand of food and land for production. The far distance between the food production and consumers further enhance the vulnerability of food security for the fellow residents. In order to aim towards a self-reliant city in Hebbal, we need be innovative in stitching productive landscapes in this built environment. The project propose to provide a framework that connects the rural and urban land while integrating existing programs with productive landscape in order to achieve a sustainable food production and consumption for the future.
