Resilient Architectures

Introduction

In the face of the climate crisis, human food production faces several major challenges: not only ensuring quality production despite degraded soils and weather uncertainties but also organizing it through short supply chains that do not worsen its environmental impact. These essential adaptations are even more crucial in small developing island states, where soils are particularly precious and limited, climate disruptions are more pronounced, and food imports are often significant. However, due to their rich history of "experimental gardens" or optimized agricultural industry, the fertility of their lands, or their rapid transformation capacity, these states act as true laboratories for experimentation, reforms, resilience, and greater autonomy. Land and soil management, agricultural infrastructure and equipment, resource management, and cyclic water use play a key role in this transformation.
