According to the FDA, the average American alone consumes 707.7lbs of fruits
and vegetables each year and the residents of San Diego consume 21,310,000 lb
a year. Martella’s tower would provide enough space to group about 532,000
lbs of produce every 3 months. This is approximately 10% of the produce the
city consumes – a sizable portion of the city’s needs and produced in a
sustainable and local facility. The produce sold through the open air market
would contribute towards the local economy serving residents and restaurants
a like, while providing jobs to local residents, even residents that live
inside the tower.
