The City Food Commons

Directed by Jordan Osmond

Growing an Urban Food Forest in a Public Park to Feed the Community

The City Food Commons shares the story of Roimata Food Commons, an urban permaculture food forest initiative driven by Ōtautahi Christchurch local Michael Reynolds. The aim of the project is to empower the community to co-create space in a public park, reviving the notion of the Commons, which was once so common in societies around the world.
