Summary: | Community food security is a framework for community development
that engages the sustainability of the local food system
and the equitable distribution of food resources. This project
suggests a community food design program that optimizes the
potential for a sustainable and equitable local food system,
and applies it to the Renfrew Collingwood community in Vancouver,
British Columbia. The basic principles of the program
require equitable access to food distribution and the allocation
of land for food production. The applied program is described
as a community design plan, and suggests that with minimal
changes to the patterns of land use, and significant changes to
the use of the public landscape, such a system would support a
food sufficiency rate of 5 to 20 percent. === Applied Science, Faculty of === Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of === Graduate
