hopefully a feature film on the subject of micro lending, i think it’s important to build local economy (especially as the dollar continues to lose value), and to bring it all closer to home…that’s the theme for this decade…LOCAL.

the farm was also a great carbon sink,,,being down there for a few hours your clothes and hair smell like diesel fuel, the plants helped clear the air, another reason we need them throughout the city

resource wars-how do we keep the HUGE companies that control our world from owning everything including our food supply, OR, if we can’t do anything about it, how do we circumvent the system that they have set up? urban farms.

thanks for the compliment on the trailer…
the farmers are up against lots considering most of them are immigrants who don’t speak English..but they figured out a way to eat well and provide health care for themselves with what they grow, a skill that has been lost by most people in the west since industrialization put us into small boxes with narrowly defined roles.. -

LA famous for shady real estate deals, ever see movie CHINATOWN? Developers and development rules here and in most of California. Politics as usual. The takeaway here is that these farmers created something that can work in every city in the world, and is a solution to every issue you consider today: climate change, food security, diabetes and obesity, lack of community, lack of organic food, GMO proliferation, etc……..

land in LA is way down like everywhere else….rooftops work in Brooklyn cause that’s all they have, I would imagine lots of other places have park space that could be converted???

he wasnt’ screwed on the deal, they bought the land at a fair market value but the plans didn’t go through..

they were plot planted so seemingly random but they probably organized so that there would be cross-pollination…

one of the keys to the urban farming movement is zoning laws, San Francisco just passed one making it ok for you to grow and sell veggies within the city…they are trying to do the same in Detroit…planting in your yard is super important, and it’s practical because with rising food prices, we’re all going to need a cheaper alternative…plus it’s something to talk to your neighbors about…

they had over 500 fruit trees, the variety was amazing, and they were also able to create an ecosystem, so bananas grew there and also many central and south american plants that you couldn’t find anywhere else…
and if your crop had just matured, you can bet one of your neighbors had what you needed
