Urban Agriculture

Lavoie, Hugo (journalist). Michaud, Jean-François (producer). Duchaine, Errol (host). Daoust, Raynald (producer). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Journalist: Lavoie, Hugo ; Host: Duchaine, Errol. (Cast).

Summary: Radio-Canada looks into the urban farming phenomenon in Montreal, where community gardens have been a staple for decades; in Toronto, where people have taken their crops to the skies for lack of space; and in Detroit, a city that is reclaiming space left vacant after abandoned buildings are demolished. It is in “bombed-out” locales like Detroit that urban farming really demonstrates what it can do for a city – it gives dead spaces a new lease on life, feeds hungry mouths, and creates wealth. Some even think greening the former Motor City will bring it back from the dead.
