Flint, Michigan Utilizes Urban Agriculture to Help Reverse the City's Fortunes

Steve Bosserman's picture

An article in today's (7 July 2009) Flint Journal entitled Flint to consider ordinance changes to enhance urban agriculture represents yet another time over the past couple of months when Flint and its interest in urban farming have made the news.  The Flint mayor, planning commissioner, and city council members among others are promoting urban agriculture and urban ecology as means to transform Flint's urban blight into an aesthetically pleasing, functional, and sustainable metropolitan landscape.  There are positive lessons for us all in the actions being considered and already underway.  Anyone from Michigan reading this who can share more details with us on LocalFoodSystems.org?  Thanks!
