One Of The Country’s Biggest Urban Farms Will Be Built In Detroit

A $15 million urban farm will be built on delinquent land owned by the city of Detroit. The 60 acre urban farm will consist of greenhouses and aquaponic systems used to grow specialty produce that will be sold to local restaurants. When complete the farm will create 120 jobs. What an amazing concept—using delinquent, city-owned land to produce healthy, non-GMO food and to create jobs. There will be no corn, soy, canola, cotton, sugarbeets: 60 acres of real food. Detroit, the trendsetter? We hope so! Heck no, we don't need GMOs! Read more about urban agricultural recovery using this link.
