Abstract
On a global scale, the modern food supply systems enabled a consistent supply of goods thanks to the technological advances. However, the continued urban growth led to an increase in demand in terms of food supply, and the displacement of food cultivation away from the cities to rural land. The consequent production and supply systems largely contribute to several challenges like carbon imbalances, the decrease in organic land, increasing the separation between the urban fabric and the agricultural landscape, and widening the gap between the producer and the consumer.
This thesis project explores the synergies between food production and supply, landscape, and urbanity, and translating these findings into an urban design proposal. I start... (More)
On a global scale, the modern food supply systems enabled a consistent supply of goods thanks to the technological advances. However, the continued urban growth led to an increase in demand in terms of food supply, and the displacement of food cultivation away from the cities to rural land. The consequent production and supply systems largely contribute to several challenges like carbon imbalances, the decrease in organic land, increasing the separation between the urban fabric and the agricultural landscape, and widening the gap between the producer and the consumer.
This thesis project explores the synergies between food production and supply, landscape, and urbanity, and translating these findings into an urban design proposal. I start this thesis by presenting the characteristics of the current landscape of modern food supply and the ecosystem benefits of sustainable alternatives. I then conduct an analysis of the context of the study location, presenting a background to agriculture and food supply patterns in Skåne.
The urban design proposal presents a masterplan for a 47 ha development in Vintrie, an area adjacent to Hyllie, Malmö. It is implemented in a site that has an old farming heritage and is located in the city fringe of Malmö, acting as an interface between the city and the rural landscape. This is achieved by investigating the ecosystem services of food production, and their social, economic and environmental benefits, and analyzing the context and the site-specific characteristics.

Popular Abstract
The project aims to harness the social, economic and environmental benefits of a productive city. This is achieved through exploring food supply systems through the lens of urban agriculture as a catalyst for sustainable growth.
