The booming urban agriculture trend is set to bloom even further in Cleveland, Ohio, where thousands of abandoned properties are being transformed into flourishing farming plots. As the recession deepens and the mortgage crisis tightens its grip, officials in Cuyahoga County have found a solution to the grim fact that without funding, abandoned houses are being left for ruin and run-down derelict sites are easy prey for thieves. By bulldozing the houses they hope to develop new green spaces for the local community where refreshing city gardens can be created for everyone to use.
