The Monument to the Just Harvest is a symbolic structure located in the Eastern Civic Ring of New Kourou. It stands as a testament to the principles of fair and sustainable food distribution, reflecting the ecological and social values of the Federal Confederation.

The monument is constructed primarily from mycelium blocks, a sustainable and innovative mushroom-based building material, emphasizing ecological responsibility. Its design features:

• Central Column: A towering column made of mycelium, serving as the backbone of the structure.
• Rising Spiral: Encircling the column, the spiral integrates small bowls at varying heights, each appearing to contain representations of food sourced from the Federal Food Plant. These symbolize the diversity of communities and their unique needs.
• Overflowing Base Bowl: At the monument’s base, a large bowl, also made of mycelium, overflows with sculpted representations of abundant produce. This element critiques the capitalist systems of waste and inequity, showcasing the potential for equitable distribution even in times of abundance.

The Monument to the Just Harvest invites viewers to engage with its multifaceted message:

• The spiral and its bowls reflect the ongoing efforts to achieve balance and fairness in food distribution across the Federal Confederation.
• The overflowing base bowl serves as a visual reminder of the need for structured systems to prevent waste and ensure abundance reaches all communities.

The Monument to the Just Harvest serves as both an artistic statement and an educational tool:

• Reflection: Encourages visitors to think critically about resource distribution and the failures of systems rooted in greed and waste.
• Education: Demonstrates the Confederation's commitment to sustainability through the use of mycelium blocks, inspiring innovation in ecological construction.
• Advocacy: Highlights the importance of equitable food systems, reminding citizens of the Confederation’s values of fairness and responsibility.

Its critique of inequity and its celebration of sustainability make it a landmark for public discussions, educational programs, and ceremonies related to food security and ecological responsibility.
