  1. Hello Mastodon!

    A quick #Introduction post from me. I'm a freshly-graduated Pākehā public historian researching Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi in #Aotearoa #NewZealand.

    I'm deeply interested in systemic change based in kindness, community, inclusion, liberation, and solidarity. I'm particularly keen to connect with other folks similarly involved in #RegenerativeFoodSystems #FoodSovereignty #UrbanFarming #OrganicAgriculture #CommunityDisasterPreparedness #QueerLiberation #IntersectionalFeminism and leftist organising.

    I'm an avid reader and amateur artist who believes deeply in the value of human endeavour, critical thought, creativity, and absurdist humour. As a result, I'm an #AntiAI absolutist.

    Excited to meet other like-minded folks and learn from your collective wisdom!

  6. Bringing the farm to the people. A grocery store/supermarket built with greenhouses on the roof to provide localmaxxed😉 lettuces to the community.

    The supermarket was clearly designed with the farm in mind: skylights throughout the store offer a window into what’s growing above. “The cool thing about producing locally and on a building is you can create synergy within the building,” Leschke said. The greenhouse is heated through the waste heat of cooling aggregates downstairs, and rainwater is the primary source of water for the greenhouse and plant production. Some of the greenhouse is also powered by sustainable energy – primarily solar.

  13. #UrbanFarming: The Ultimate Guide to #Sustainable #CityAgriculture

    January 23, 2024

    "Urban farming is an exciting movement transforming cityscapes into productive green spaces, fundamentally changing how urban dwellers interact with their food and environment. This guide is your journey into the world of urban agriculture, where the concrete jungle meets the nourishing practice of cultivation. Right across our cities – on balconies, rooftops, in community plots, and even indoors – people are rediscovering the satisfaction of growing their own food.

    "This isn’t just a fleeting trend; it’s a meaningful shift towards more sustainable and self-reliant urban living. Whether you have a sprawling backyard (a rarity in most cities!) or just a sunny windowsill, this guide provides the horticultural know-how you need. We’ll cover the basics, explore different techniques suitable for city growing, suggest crops that thrive in urban settings, and delve into the many rewarding benefits – from harvesting your own fresh, nutritious produce to lessening our collective reliance on long-distance food transport.

    "We’ll explore practical, innovative ways to make the most of limited space, turning overlooked corners into thriving mini-farms. Are you a seasoned gardener looking to adapt your skills to an urban context? Or perhaps a complete beginner, curious about sticking a seed in some soil? Wherever you are on your gardening journey, this guide aims to inspire and empower you. Urban farming is more than growing plants; it’s about cultivating a greener lifestyle and contributing to a more resilient future for our cities. Let’s dig in!"
