The Independent Food City

As a part of the work with innovation platform Plattform STAD, we explored a vision for what the city of Malmö could look like as an urban food system.

The result, an exhibition, was first displayed at Southern Sweden Design Days 2024, and has since then been displayed at various venues - and it has been turned into a website about the potential of an urban food revolution.

The exhibition invited visitors to envision a greener, healthier, and more delicious future city through multiple senses. It showcased diverse aspects of urban food production, including rainwater harvesting, urban root cellars, community gardens, and next-generation farmers’ markets.

Visitors could savor a locally sourced, plant-based burger or immerse themselves in the textures of ASMR culture crops, while children planted seeds to take home in nutrient-rich soil from an urban compost.
