The aim of the project is to make an organic food production system, specifically a food forest, for African migrants and natives in Gibellina Nuova, in Sicily. This organic farming with migrants can be one of the solutions to tackle current issues in Sicily.

Firstly, food production can give migrants an opportunity for economic activity. The participation of young migrants in agricultural activities can also satisfy a lack of workforce in Sicily which is experiencing a decreasing population and aging society. Lastly, the influx of the new industry can invigorate Nuova Gibellina by bringing new people into the ghost town.

In the context of the climate crisis, the food forest will play a role in connecting other woodlands through a corridor passing through Gibellina Nuova. The food forest follows an organic farming method and contains diverse programmes such as an agricultural school, food manufacturing factories, and entertainment spaces. Located in the forest, these various programmes can be a bridge to connect the forest to the urban context. Thus, the project proposes several methodologies to make the food forest coexist with the urban context. This productive landscape will encourage both natives and migrants to live together in the forest, blocking out the strong sunlight in Sicily.
