Project title: The Urban Sugarcane Plantation, 2009. An Agricultural Urban Project in New Orleans. Sugarcane plantlets are planted in streets and backyards where they would naturally grow prior to the modern city structure we have today, and as an effort to bring agriculture to city areas with low income for sustainability.
