Can urban farming transform food deserts and create local jobs?
In short: Kevin O’Connor and Roger Cook travel to Detroit to examine how city-based agriculture is reshaping neighborhoods through personal food production, community farms, and professional apprenticeship programs.
The video follows three distinct models of urban farming in Detroit. It begins with a resident who has expanded her property by purchasing surrounding lots to cultivate her own food. The journey then moves to a neighborhood farm dedicated to supplying food to residents living in a food desert, and concludes at a city-based farm that uses an apprenticeship program to offer education and employment opportunities to the local community.
