I’ve always wondering if farming could be a solution for Detroit? It seems to have plenty of land and with growing shortages of basic commodities such as Wheat on the global market surely there’s an opportunity to return large parts of the land back to farming use.
Many people have thought this (John Hantz), but there's a reason it hasn't begun. The cost of cleaning up the land is too great to start cost-competitive large scale farms.
