Only then will Detroit governemnt actally take it seriously and we see the change that will make the city better than it is now. Companies will grab the large land that is not suitable for individuals (ie 1-2 acre farmers like this post says). There is still plenty of room in Detroit and suburbs for non-profit groups and young farmers and there will probably always will be.CaptnSajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10048356789388047033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389181255786430083.post-4251062786637754842009-04-27T12:11:00.000-05:002009-04-27T12:11:00.000-05:00I think this is very compelling post.

It seems to me that small grassroots urban farms avoid this. They are truly about creation and about relationships. Large corporate urban farms, may intend to do good by feeding urban dwellers locally, but in the end they are just creating another space that perpetuates the ideas of consumption, and by doing so continue supporting ideologies of globalization including homogenization, efficiency, and power. <br /><br />Read my blog and let me know what you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
