Detroit's Earthworks Farm, Cont'd
Earthworks Farm may be just the start for this city that is said to include 40 square miles of vacant land. Detroit's mayor has recently announced his intention to designate three major areas specifically for farming, including an entire neighborhood just east of downtown.
Already, two big establishments are planning to set up shop. Hantz Farms, which plans to create 70 acres of fertile land, claims to be working to build the world's largest urban farm.
At what point, though, does a large urban farm simply become rural?
