Our contribution is the Food and Medicine Garden, set in a dense temperate city. It is a layered, community-led landscape where food, medicine and ecology grow together: crops, medicinal herbs and fungi on vertical platforms and in underground chambers, supported by AI systems and solar-powered mycelium walls.
