The video below speaks more than I can possibly explain in words.
The executive summary: a non-profit group transforms an abandoned lot that was zoned for a different non-profit and grows crops for 7 years to feed the hungry, teach people how to cook healthy and get youth involved in farming in Brooklyn. Unfortunately the non-farming non-profit owes money to the city and the city wants to evict, sell the land and move the farm but aren`t offering solutions that will work.
It`s an amazing project that`s in danger of disappearing.
