BANANA REPUBLIC

How to feed a Nation? Ancient cities were designed to be adjacent to centres for growing, supplying and consumption of food. Today, economic and political interests drive us further and further away from our food sources. In the last two decades, Israeli fruit and vegetable consumption has decreased by about 50%, in direct contrast to the exponential increase of the fruit and vegetable price index.

‘Banana Republic’ offers a social, nutritional and spatial examination of the supply chain in Israel and proposes an architectural and strategic plan to optimise the consumption of fruit and vegetable in Israel.
