Farrells Focus is a series of events addressing topical issues in architecture and the built environment.

For the third instalment in the series, Farrells are looking at the topic of urban greening and how, through place-specific masterplanning, food can be re-integrated into urban places in a more sustainable way.

With a group of leading figures in the architecture, built environment and sustainability industries, Bee Farrell, Founder of Anciens Foodways, will explore the history of this issue and the different solutions that can be used by architects and planners.

Bee has recently published an audit report for Farrells called ‘Food and Greening’ – case studies from this research will be exhibited at the event.
