"Sowing the Seeds of Change" by William Campion 

 

Here the farmer experiences an existential crisis while purveying the inevitability of an agricultural revolution. Agritecture will bring food factories and vertical farms into reality and disrupt the everyday. This jarring scene exemplifies the current toll on the environment modern agricultural methods cause to create fertile farmland through deforestation and agrochemicals, giving everything we eat large carbon footprints. Instead farmland will eventually be swallowed up by the urban sprawl and redistributed vertically in more efficient architectural machines to create a circular economy; this architectural form of farming is in fact less destructive than the conventional methods. The image is seemingly timeless, it could be 20 years from now or 10 years ago, it forces the viewer to contemplate their own impact on the global food chain and whether vertical farms are preferable to farmland and decide whether the food we all take for granted on supermarket shelves is actually bountiful.
