to find good news stories wherever it can back in 2012 reporter russell baird traveled to detroit and the heart of the u.s.a.'s decaying rust belt a city built on common you factory he was on the trail of a growing urban farming movement aiming to change the face of detroit and reverse decades of decay rewind recently returned to see how that movement progressed the 1st let's take a look at motown to grow town from 2012. in 1900 detroit covered 30 square miles and was home to just 300000 people with an economy based on manufacturing the railroad cars farming and timber industries. thanks to the introduction of the mass assembly line by the 1920 s. detroit was the world capital of automotive production and america's 4th largest city. 50 years on and things were very different the major auto companies moved

their factories out of the city to the suburbs and the workers followed meanwhile the city's racial tensions were exploding into some of the bloodiest race riots in american history. today more than a 1000000 taxpayers have moved out of detroit leaving behind 40 square miles of vacant land nearly $40000.00 abandoned houses and a municipal government struggling to pay the bills. for many detroit is the epitome of urban blight but to find out how detroit's urban environment is already showing signs of a green renewal we head across town to georgia street community garden. set up a few years ago by mark colvin tin urban farming pioneer and local hero mark. a man who you know i. am i have to lead a neighborhood when i was younger it was a car dealership owner on down the street we had restaurants all the stores shoe

shops everything you need it was right here. and. over half a 1000000 detroiters live closer to convenience stores than groceries and with limited public transport and nearly half of the city living below the poverty line access to healthy affordable food is often a challenge they call if you don't drive and you can't get out of town the malls where people buy food. like this. tours gas stations and the little scarce markets that we grocery store that we've been there because we do have places where people can go get food but it's how healthy it is you know and how cheap i can arm pull is for you to buy you know when you come here and you get a you know. size bed for these for a dollar. all

this used to be how things this is just a i've begun street cred right now some credit. when they get lots are vacant houses to one inhabited house. people move to the suburbs for a better life and the more people do move away. the less tax breaks we had on this tax base the same comforted in the mean is that i don't want people don't realize what a tax base really means to a city you know as far as getting things done and having money word play so a lot of things we have to do on our own. and messy and police in each other and cleaning up after each other. but this this is where it all started. i lost my job in the summer of 2007 i had to move back home on george street with my mother my grandmother and. i came

out when the snow started melting off all the garbage trucks powered up on the curb and in the process of cleaning it up. i just said i need to put some food here and i'll hear you know work and start talking to people in the neighborhood and finding out that a lot of us are struggling you know our senior citizens we try to choose whether to pay for them or by medicaid. and i decided to make it bigger everything i've done i've tried to engage to the community but it's easy for me because i know everybody so. much help in the garden from the city not really other than because technically having a community garden is illegal still has eagles right yes growing food. is technically illegal in the city detroit i've got family living like columbus ohio and friends i'm in mississippi which is

a farming state and now it's like going home in detroit yeah i'm like yeah right the middle of detroit you can go to chickens in detroit i'm like yeah right in the middle of detroit so i can hear them actually in the distance it's a you that's it's as if that's a pheasant you can have presents and all the while but what have. i you just give me yeah we've got pheasants rabbit. box if you if you took a shot right here it went right across the street it looks like you're in a forest and a speck in the fama no when people ask you what you do and they say would have been clear in. my coding tints no the only open farmer in detroit in fact he's part of a growing movement when i started obviously roland seedlings in the house my dining room i'm living in was full of plans somebody sent me the e-mail saying that there

was a meeting of diners and they were telling them about the different resources that they offer it's all like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and i'll think yes i have to just. you know. must take me to that's works highly productive urban agriculture and education hub supplies would be city farmers with everything they need from support to seedlings morning. among the stuff you know that i. is to be able to have a space where folks can learn how to grow food at a level that. would be for their own economic interest so if they were trying to grow it to start a farm where they made money or if they were trying to grow it at a scale in order to provide a really nice amount for their family to introduce you guys real quick to this is russell here we can find him a spot this is a lot of our youth works as hard for a training program and we're learning to be harboring farmers so what we working with here. actually i think that's

a good one that's got some good roots on the good news i got into it because i have i have young children i want to be able to grow as i think they are growing out who is one of the most revolutionary at least you can also test the baby and i also have a small. beginning catering company so how can a girl cook for purposes you want to make a business this year you trade is not only unhealthy financially but with help i don't know 1st popular that you can do so here yourself is do you have somebody for you so we do it ourselves we know what we have. and should be gentle with them they're just so fragile these little thing last concert was saying it's stronger than you realize really. folks oftentimes think of the gardens as that and the farm as being what we do but we see it as being more like the canvas upon what we do our work that really the work is about people these seedlings will be distributed to over a 1000 families in community gardens all over the city on the days when we pick up

transplants it's like a carnival there so many people want to mind you know. this part of it is using this as being sort of the classroom but then showing that it can be replicated on a smaller level you know you can go out to the hardware store and do this instead of being dependent that's one thing being able to provide the food but you think people who start more fresh fruit vegetables if it was available as a country we don't not grow enough fresh fruits and vegetables for what we're supposed to be eating so that. capacity has to ramp up of that we have to be growing new farmers that are growing fresh fruits and vegetables. the flipside of that is how do we get folks to eat fresh fruits and i think it's relationship based and i think for most the folks you talk to that find this work very sacred almost always there's going to be some sort of memory attached to it it might be way back in the back of their mind but when you start asking them they'll almost say you know it's because of a parent or grandparent or my neighbor taught me how to do this and we carry that with us still this is my friend de de floyd she's. one of the pioneers in

bloody for taking over vacant lots and now. having a daughter. the latter. is well worth. the money to this image. it is moved to detroit as a child in a 40 years living on mount olivet street she's seen a lot of changes so how many houses used to be on the street 6464. and i can count 123. x. 56 literally just 6 you can see from here we have done this push lot right here and then the next house got torn down to the next one. and we kept on going until we got down to the end so how many how many looked to be adopted so far just $28.00 just $28.00 foot this is good for washing thing is the pick i mean bush. they are delicious read good schools. wow this looks great

and what do you think mark what do you reckon to all this learn. a lot of work it is a lot of work but it's fun oh yeah yeah and. i'd always say i get tired but it's a good tired but not content with utilizing detroit's adopt a low program that allows residents to lease abandoned properties for personal use it is plans to turn the whole street into a drive through fruit market. and if they want they can take it out and pick it themselves and if they call me a day before i have it ready do you believe that this is you're going to be able to manage them yes is easy all you got to do is have the clip when you visit them in no time. you just got the grant money she needed to buy the truck to buy volunteering to maintain the local park. just take i was cut it with a push the way. it was on the burner but 23 lot more so less it does not

work you need to get a tray of lead this just remember we're in the middle of detroit. oh. ok ok so we're going to do some 2 in here now we're going to let you get. on. and thanks to this you can turn that wears learn that tall grass into productive formulate it into a template fashion because i can plow implant those whole thing in one day yeah that's how fast it is and you think is a real need for that in detroit right now yes because right now i can't walk to the office store is so far apart you can go to the gas station to get joe but to get

fresh food is no way no way around you. need to get a goal 7 mouse on buses. to get the food you need. is so much later in your why business if you didn't go to nothing i'd rather work with the laying in the world and yet feeling. i like to. use the. it's not free and if you use people any take here you take hear me it. after decades of urban decay the city's getting back on track with improvements to public transport services and the installation of thousands of energy efficient streetlights despite being on the brink of bankruptcy in a city investment is totaled over $9000000000.00 since 2006 as entrepreneurs hustled to stake a claim in the city while still going cheap the last 10 years so 59 percent rise in

young graduates moving into the cities core reinventing arts and cultural home on the outskirts a new wave of bourbon farmer social arriving. in detroit so we're really going to be cuddling literally. as if he could you see here in the city in this market the computer. that's where i had heard. which was much smaller than it is now and wasn't getting national publicity. and feed. an agriculture. world here we take everything eastern market. and it's mostly big trucks yeah yeah people love their cars and.

people want to brand it is this you know green place which is great and people are kind of taking on that mentality still detroit still always going to have a big cars until. something else. yeah it's. in cities. in cities. we don't use any kind of chemical fertilizers or sprays or anything. just lots of compost and hard work. so this garlics been saved in detroit for about 7 years now so it does better and better each year because you're selecting the ones that do the best. like oh my goodness. is a match. living some kind of you. dream here and he. is going to give. me here most of the folks that still live here now

kind of have been through hell and back you know in this neighborhood with crack issues and drugs and gangs and whatever and so i feel like the folks that are here now are probably not going anywhere they've kind of. thing i mean i think that we need to slowly transition to a smaller scale more sustainable agriculture and i think pretty you know soon that like economically just will make sense to grow the way we do now you know our well our whole in style or society is completely reliant on the fact that oil is cheap yet so once that one element isn't so cheap anymore i mean. everything will change and i think our culture has taught people that you know you should have whatever you want you know buy buy buy and this is not the reality when you live in a low resource economy you know you have to support each other you have to work together you got to share resources and that's what detroit is doing you know the eastern market is one of the largest open air markets in the united states and it's

been growing steadily despite detroit's suburban isolation is all about knowing your farm are very important to believe the story from you know you got a preferred stock in most of the 5 probably do farmers are pretty secular and we're going to be sensitive. to treats probably a little behind the times when it comes to like the whole food local food thing and especially the organic thing but i feel like it's changing every year. he tried sometimes to tear a piece of plastic. or so far how was i to miles you're buying stuff in season here for that stuff that's being trucked in from from who knows how far and it might it might have something on it you don't want to see but you'll never know every saturday about 45000 people come here to do the shopping and community here you spend enough time down here you get to know your cellars you get to know your farmers good morning how are you and did you pick these just so this morning it

took me 5 times the world around me something someone like you takes everything you know not come back and make you do those as well as you go out to put gas in a tank that's coming more from the. earth. would you think about these you have you seen the. yeah. yeah it's going. to reach out you know california mercy that we haven't passed but. it's going to get a good challenge in the city here his land shocking and there's so much land you think available the city owns it they're not really doing anything with it and can't maintain yeah. it's just caught up in the bureaucracy yeah and meanwhile we're kind of doing it under the radar a little bill hopefully will you know get around to the same promoting this and supporting it as opposed to being a barrier. we we painted the owner of this picture of

victimization and we started talking about these food deserts the exact opposite is what a lot of community gardeners and food activists are saying is no we don't need outside interests we have the capacity to to care for ourselves and that of that we know what's best for the community and i certainly think mark is it is a stunning example of that when you literally same people move into your neighborhood because of what you're doing you know and so they're not a lot of folks can claim a neighborhood is. it's seeing people moving into it. i'd rather see a bunch of how this bunch of people. but you know even in the future i would like to see some of the vacant lots are all a big and lots you know have houses and apartment buildings along with people walk around but i still think we even in that future will need something like this so we can grow. and i think ultimately nature will heal itself

i think that when we look at only slots that we refer to as being baking which is a higher anthropocentric view point of that they're not in fact vacant they're full of all kinds of life but those plants i think are really healing the soil that that ultimately is the legacy that we provide to our children and our grandchildren is that we have taken the soils that have been wasted and to allow them to research. everything has to see you know everything grows from the sea when you have to start somewhere so. mo tell him to grow tell from the dr series back in 2012 how did they get on in the sense then they want. every trace russell steps recently to find out.

this morning on starting. with the outside then asked i like to plough on that like to work in the going. 70 year old edith floyd's dream of a drive through markets never came to fruition the size of urban farm has grown from 9 lots to 32 and she's also added a lot. so she can now grow fruit and vegetables all year round. the back of the. meat campus and sell meat. if you don't work. you don't eat and if you don't work you get lazy and don't want to do nothing what keep me going i like working. a few miles away calling to. have also grown vegan foam complete with more

animals. i want to say we only had 8 lots and now we have 24 that we keep cut or we grow something on. the reason why we got b. or was the help pollinate our fruit trees are the props that we grow. we have beautiful plant but they went for the lot of we tripled easily couple that when we started. easily i mean the last 6 years. thanks. to expand the farm so people can come and pick their own fruit and vege. i would like to be in the city i want to grow facial. i know at the store but come over i get to visual things. edith gets help on the farm

via the court system people can do their hours of community service instead of paying a fine or going to prison it's called volunteer hours. the people who need quality i was. coming to be about. because we go through footage from the day. many of the vacant houses and lots around. a still up for sale however he's purchased one of them which will turn into a community education center in the mean time devoted to who passed their lot so they can grow tomatoes in the winter. we have turkey give away every year. we do 30 to 35 turkeys and with a basket so we are quite chaotic alors is free range what it along with some other donations that we get. this is the asset to the city not just that the neighborhood

but the city. when i get a $180.00 and i will be going to check just plowing. clean out here in the soil learning about helped by eating good. it's saved my life. i can't imagine doing something else. these urban farmers from detroit have not yet transformed motown to grow town the seeds day and others of so promise a rich and fruitful harvest in the years to come. well that's it from don't forget you're find more films from the series on the rewind page at al jazeera dot com but for now thank you for joining us and see you again next time. rewind return. with updates on the best of al-jazeera as documentary.
