Their efforts are amazing Being a Michigan native I have heard too many cut down Detroit time and again & hate hearing the negative bs. The people interviewed in this & others as well are DEFYING the haters who are too quick to criticize.
This is incredibly inspiring!! I'm turning my back yard in Florida into a garden and I tell you it feels so good to be growing my own fruit and veggies.
Fantastic episode. If urban government would get out of its own way there are people who are willing to do the work and bring the city back and better than before.
NorwichGrad97 Yes I like what that woman said at the community farm, when she said ‘growing food is the most revolutionary thing you can do’. Reminds me of the late and great Mahatma Gandhi, who saw the spinning wheel as revolutionary, as it liberatied people from shop bought clothes etc. So making your own clothes and growing your own food are two of the 3 things needed to be outside the system, the third is being able to provide your own shelter, which normally requires ownership of land. But it seems there are plenty of empty properties that could be squatted( if the LA would let it happen) and vacant land to build a Tiny Eco house on.
Inspiring video. Amazing work these people are doing, not only for Detroit, but they spreading a message to the rest of Michigan and America. Detroit may be the poster child, but what Detroit was and is going through is an American problem. The good news is Detroit is rebuilding and local whole food production I believe is an important spoke of that.
This is great to see, I would like to make one suggestion, and that is to grow Food forests, they are self sustaining and produce a lot more food with small amount of physical input. While acting as Carbon sinks to help with global warming, also (food) forests cool the local climate. If people did this they would have loads of fruit and nuts and a wide variety of them!. Look up ‘Forest Gardening’ or Food Forests’ and ‘Permaculture’ on TH-cam . There’s lot of amazing vids of people creating little gardens of Eden, Forest Farming is self seeding, self fertilising, self watering, all you have to do to it once it’s established, is a bit of pruning while collecting food.
Growing food in the city of Detroit is illegal! What a world we have created or have allowed to be created, thank god for good men like these who are starting a green revolution, let’s all grow food!!
Great to see a city that had its heart ripped out finding reinvention and hope. It seems absurd that technically it is illegal to grow food in Detroit pretty sure the locals will have changed that now.
what, its illegal??? how come? something like that land already toxic n the gov used that issue to make it illegal? but, we could use effective microorganism to fix it, n its works for a lot of lands
Please know, that there has always been a segment of society that has never wanted to see us as self-sufficient. We are rising to our identity and there is a mass awakening of our people. You think they are mad now, just wait a little longer. The devil is going to reveal himself and there will be no doubt as to who he is.
Why does there have to be this division among people? I watched another video on urban farming and people of all races and ethnicities were interacting and bonding with each other. You can have an identity and be self-sufficient without having to bash others down.
It's all cool and I understand but why are the vegetables wrapped in plastic? Aren't we trying to get far away from that stuff? Burlap is cheap and re-usable. The people need a more complete example of right living.
"mined by urban miners" Translation; "the building has been looted" lol Well he is right they saved him on clean up cost and made some money in the process but still funny though.
@@billybatts9491 that's kind of a very ignorant and stupid thing to say. May people are born into situations beyond their control and for many people the system is stacked against them to the point where they pretty much have no choice. I am an immigrant who sees things from a completely different point of view. The fact is that if you don't know you have a choice then you are unlikely to exercise a choice you are unaware of because of your situation. I have been to some red states in the south and trust me, you would be hard put find people more put upon. Those people have very chance of making it out of their situation.
All these people need to get political if growing a garden in the city is illegal they need to put people in office that will Legalize It replace the people that say no with the people that say yes
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.
I have new perspective on the scavengers now if one owns the depot they are bringing the resources to for cash you’ll save on labor ect lol. So much cheaper then hiring crews (even taking in the lose in materials that don’t make it to the depot).
I LUV these type of vids. great ideas for our own sustainability to depend on one's self to feed themselves. Cause the Government's LUV child Corporations to feed us like Monsanto is not the way eating their greed for profit poison food is never the way.
The infestation of the city of Detroit in the 50' and 60' with thugs led to its demise. 9 out of 10 houses empty? This is worse than city of Alepo, Syria.

How are you doing? Are you gardening yet?

Say hello from Japan.
Really interest this kind of project!
Hope their community grow into whole of Detroit!

Thank you for sharing. Wow. Urban farmers rock. GOTS. Get out of Their System. Being self-sufficient is the pathway to freedom. Bravo.

Makes me want to go live in Detroit seems like a good community is growing there
I hope they make it legal to farm there. And everywhere.

I hope this Documentary inspires a whole generation of young people to become #UrbanFarmers #FreedomGrowers
I’m glad I found this I live on the west side and just bought 4 lots
My two favorite things. Trains and gardening at one place !
Excellent. Thx AJ!
Admirable people!😍🥬🥦🥕
Thanks for doing this documentary
Go Detroit Go! People start growing and watch people jump on the good bandwagon this time!
where is this on youtube? The new prospects? People are watching! Good for you!
I want to do this in my community, but I have no idea where to even start.
Reach out!
love it. Showing how adaptable people are 💙
I live about 45 minutes from Detroit but did not grow up in Michigan. I am trying to figure out why its illegal to have a farm in Detroit.
Now buy up all this land before the developers cash in on your hard work.
RIGHT!
It seems for me like a cycle. We started growing food long ago and now we're gonna do it again!
I would like to know if Edith has created the Drive Thrue Veg marked :) .... she is amazing

Kudos Detroit! I'm inspired to learn more and get involved in my local community!
so am I.I'm so proud of what they are doing in Detroit!

I like the layout of Detroit.
I wonder is he still doing this?
very inspiring!
how do you dislike this video?
I know right, i guess haters got to hate.

Enter; Will Allen into TH-cam to see what great possibilities there are for people to do urban farming!

The comparisons to Detroit and Cuba are relative here.
I would love to move to Detroit. I've lived in the South all my life but I don't think I would survive my first Winter there LOLOL
austx290 Hey if you can survive a winter in Michigan you can survive anything.

19:20 That young woman is in good shape. That's quite a load she has on the trailer and she's not even breathless!
14:50 they're disturbing the top soil....no till is better

Did the tilapia far happen?
Gloria Smith price tag: $220 mil...think not
Omg, doing so much good by growing your own and cycling to market, but then wrap your produce in single use plastic!

Then go to another you tube channel and they are picking fresh fruit and vegetables out of garbage.
Growing hella pot at about 13:00
In urban farming ,I would expect a lot of produce theft,unless you live on the property.
Narrator friend, are you Irish? I can't place the accent
61 comments, pathetic.
Permaculture
I want to buy some fish, and not from China!
