Why Detroit?

In a bleak economy full of foreclosures, Detroit is a city in dire need for assistance. With a 30% of the land being vacant, urban farming can be one of the answers to the crisis. Urban farming can give the people opportunities to grow their own food, create a source of employment, and become a closer community.
