Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
Land use in and around cities has reached a tipping point – all underused or semi-vacant pieces of land are seized by local food growers, supported by local authorities who compete to be the most self-sufficient. In response many landowners put up fences, and there are struggles and even riots over the control and access to multi-functional land.
