The project aims to deal with the problem of food production and transportation within big metropolitan areas, in this case the city of Paris. The main goal of the project is to develop a new model of urban agriculture capable of working both at a global and local scale. The idea is to integrate a model for the intensive production of food, such as the vertical farm, with a series of functions and devices that work at the local scale in a way in which it would be possible to involve the population into the project. In order to integrate the project’s proposal with the existing dynamic metropolitan system it is necessary to develop a strategy capable of adapting and reacting to the continuous changes. The strategy aims to investigate some concepts directly derived from the field of NS&IA such as self-organization processes based on the swarm behavior logic.
