Build
to Eat



As the population and urban footprint of Sydney increases, so too does the collective appetite for food that must be sustained. Without a reassessment of current practices, production and distribution inevitably shift further afield, interstate and international imports are increasingly relied upon, and the metropolis deepens its carbon intensity. Globally, 3 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent can be attributed to the transportation of food –  6% of the total (Li 2022) – and half of this can be found to be directly from road vehicles (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2022) Limiting sprawl into the arable greenfields is a myopic solution, and rather it is the weaving of sustenance systems throughout the city that would provide the greatest benefit to climate resilience and urban equity.
