Foraging & Pollination in Post-Industrial Glasgow

What is going to happen to the lands, food, and more-than-human health in the Glasgow of the future?
Pollinators going extinct will affect the food that we eat. Shall we re-think how we treat edible flora as an integral part of the food supply chain? Landscape architects can influence the climate change, wildlife increase, and edible environment accessible to everyone.
I place significant emphasis on detailed design and co-operation with plants and its suitability in the landscape. Pollinators and soil insects, in this project, need to return for human to be able to grow food in the future.
Recalibration Drawing of Anthropocentric Glasgow Strategy
Historical Evolution
350 million years ago - wood
12th century farming and settlement
19th century industrial era - neighbourhood with food sheds and bakery
20th century M8 motorway construction - migration
21st century abandonment and car parking
Speculative future - housing development ignored proposal
Speculative future - natural regeneration closed off to humans ignored - high plants' unpredictability for foraging aims
Speculative future - monoculture ignored - high disease risk prediction and poor ecology

Edible flora can grow anywhere, we just need to learn to see it as a priority.
