A collection of Beijing-based organic farmers and food-aware citizens will gather for a second discussion focusing on distribution networks of organic produce throughout the city. Pangbianr will be in the mix offering seasonal sweet potato falafel from our recipe zine along with some cartographic input.

Organizer Emi Uemura explains:

“集市”是一个关于食物和城市农业的正在进行中的教育项目。它包含两部分：农民市场和一系列小项目。农民市场从北京自然/有机农业生产者和消费者之间的直接交易所产生的需求中发展出来。然而，这里仍旧存在着一个巨大的鸿沟，一些生产者产出过剩的有机产品，与此同时，一些消费者却不知从何买到绿色食品。“集市”便是这样一个平台，农民和消费者组建网络，最重要的是，他们还可以在城市中分享彼此的经验。这将使我们在饮食习惯、选择及行为上获得新的认识，继而成为一名合格的城市消费者，我们也相信，这将鼓励并使当地农民未来的生产获得收益。同样，我们组织小型讨论、演示、行为和工作坊，也带有教育的目的。

Country Fair is an ongoing educational event of food and urban agriculture. It contains 2 parts: farmers market and series of small projects, lectures and workshops. Farmers market is developed out of necessity in direct communication and exchange between the natural / organic farmers and consumers in Beijing. Still there is a big gap between the farmers and consumers; some producers have excess organic products while some consumers do not know where and how to start a natural way of eating. Country Fair as a platform, farmers and consumers create networks and most importantly sharing experience inside the city. This is the beginning to gain awareness of our eating habit, our choices and actions as responsible urban consumers, also we believe this will benefit and encourage local farmers for their future practice. As educational purpose of this event, we organize small talks, presentation, performance and workshop.

Studio-X（哥伦比亚大学建筑、规划与历史保护研究院）是本次“集市”项目的合作方。关于农业的观念和城市空间的认识，以及本地食品如何进入城市的讨论，将在这个空间内进行。在本次会议中，我们还将绘制一张配送地图，以便更好地认识整个路线、可能超负荷的区域、环境问题，最简单的目的则是认识食物是如何配送的。

This time Country Fair is based in Studio-X (Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation) to collaborate with the idea of farming and awareness of urban space, focusing on how local food comes into the city. In this meeting, we will develop a map of deliveries to better understand routes, possible overlapping zones and environmental concerns, and simply to see how food is distributed.
