In the old factory yards, and between the sad, sagging blocks of company housing that form Detroit, seeds of change are taking root. A group of dedicated citizens have started an urban environmental movement with the potential to transform not just a city after its collapse, but also a country after the end of its industrial age. Theirs is a vision of locally-grown, sustainably farmed food in a city limited to the lifeless offerings of fast food chains, mini-marts, and grocery stores stocked with processed food from thousands of miles away. The people of Detroit have taken on the enormous task of changing this for themselves, and to understand their story is to understand how we can change it for us all.
