Very cool video Elkhound. Anyone can grow food in the city if there is a bit of vacant land and cooperation of the neighborhood.

Many cities have roof gardens, I have seen people grow food between the sidewalk and the street in that little strip of land.

Thanks for posting!

Great links! The food desert situation is causing a lot of gardening to spring up in some of the most unlikely places.
