This thesis explores a socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable alternative to the current food production and consumption systems, a framework which currently leaves neighborhoods without food, farmers without incomes, and communities without a sense of the ecological or cultural significance of the food that they eat every day. Utilizing the abandoned manufacturing infrastructure of Cleveland Ohio, this thesis explores how food production can be incorporated into the community as a new industry, focused on stewardship of the land, buildings, community, and history of the site. Integrating farming with sustainable heritage and building practices to create a multi-functional space to re-invent how we grow, buy, and understand food, both as a tool for preserving the past, as well as the future.
