On Farmer’s Markets
The question we pose to Design Brigade:
This summer, Design Brigade is working with CitySeed to envision a new vision for the Farmers Market. What does a more equitable and inclusive Farmers Market look like?
Client:
The project as conceived by Design Brigade:
This summer, Design Brigade worked with CitySeed to re-envision the farmers market in New Haven. We investigated what food justice means in a city and world forever changed by the pandemic. We developed design strategies that might begin to foster change for New Haven communities today and in the long-term future. We did not expect to solve something so complex and systematically entrenched in two months. However, as a collection of our conversations, mappings, questions, drawings and as a narrative synthesis of everything we’ve learned and imagined along the way, it is our hope that our work can serve as a foothold for further efforts towards a more robust, inclusive and accessible food system in New Haven and beyond.
