BIOLOGY
City Farm could provide an actual landscape to create a plant collection and identify plant species for a Field Botany class, to engage in formulating strategies for environmental problems in an Environmental Biology class, or to demonstrate evolutionary trends in plant biology.

NUTRITION
City Farm provides many opportunities to engage students in concepts like diet analysis, hunger, dietary guidelines, life span and evaluation of carbohydrates and calories.
HISTORY
City Farm can address food in history and illustrate a concept like "new world" crops through a planting and harvest during one semester. The physical land could also benefit discussions about capitalism and agribusiness and responses to some of the world's economic and environmental problems and less obvious "costs".
SOCIOLOGY
City Farm could engage with and support projects related to alternative economic models and discussions of culture (and it's various aspects), labor, stratification, globalization, etc. The project could assist students in rethinking the use of public and social space and what "green".
GEOGRAPHY
Through hands-on and semester-long activities, City Farm could provide an illustration of concepts including the distance food travels, commodity/resource networks, water transport, foodways, climate change and shifting ecosystems, relationships between climate, soils, flora and agriculture.

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION
Students could design signage and promotions for City Farm. With an actual location, students would have the opportunity to observe the successes or shortfalls of their work, by observing human interaction with the space. Additionally, City Farm would provide a 3D canvas for visual exploration and interpretation, as well as compositional design.
