The future is wild, and it could be coming to a city near you.

Ellia Guy doesn’t just want our cities to consume food – she wants them to grow it. As founder of Brisbane-based interdisciplinary practice Future Wild, the environmental scientist and her team are at the forefront of the urban agriculture movement, creating kitchen gardens and edible landscapes on rooftops, balconies and underutilised concrete spaces across Brisbane and South East Queensland.

Ellia Guy sees what others don’t. Across our cities lie acres of unused space – rooftops, carparks, verges, balconies – that could become flourishing, thriving edible gardens. This is the concept behind Future Wild – a Brisbane-based practice founded by Guy that is transforming unused urban areas across South East Queensland into organic kitchen gardens.

Future Wild was thrilled to be awarded ‘One to Watch’ in the 2026 delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards, a prestigious awards program that recognises the most outstanding food producers across Australia.

Future Wild was thrilled to be announced as the Queensland finalist in the “From the Earth” category in the delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards 2025.
