都市農業如何轉變底特律

在底特律有著不可思議的東西正在成長：健康、可取得、美味、新鮮的食物。在這場鼓舞人心的演說中，無懼的農夫戴薇塔戴維森解釋了為什麼底特律的衰落正好讓它成為都市農業的理想地點。加入戴維森，隨著她所分享的這個關於機會和希望的故事，到這些轉變的鄰坊走走。「這些不是只被我們拿來種植蕃茄和蘿蔔的小塊土地。」戴維森說：「我們在這些地方建立社會融和，也是在提供新鮮健康的食物。」

Detroit, once a booming industrial giant, now faces vast emptiness and limited access to fresh food, with 70 percent of residents overweight or obese. Yet the city’s vacant land has become fertile ground for a grassroots urban farming movement, boasting over 1,500 gardens and farms. Neighborhoods are transforming abandoned properties into community kitchens, markets, and farmways, fostering social bonds and new businesses. These efforts are helping Detroiters reclaim agency, spark economic growth, and build healthier, more connected communities.
