In the early 20th century the American city of Detroit was a booming industrial powerhouse and world leader in car manufacturing. But since the major car companies closed their factories, more than a million taxpayers have moved out of Detroit, leaving behind more than 100 square kilometres of vacant land, and nearly 40,000 abandoned houses. A group of visionary residents are now sowing the seeds of an urban farming revolution.

I think it's simple to know the difference btw GMO and organic since GMO crops don't produce it's own seeds; why are ppl like you so unhappy when you see blk people doing something progressive with their lives.
haha, i dont know about all that, but we should all grow food. a pine is nice, but apples are good. 🙂
this sounds good but don't know why U blk ppl still trust the Damn devil, there probably giving these ppl GMO seeds to plant. They can label this as organic but It's still GMO Seeds. U ppl just don't learn.
Thanks for doing this documentary
I think it's genius to do farming. The whole American continent should go back to living like the Natives.
