Hi there, we did a quick google search and found this. Hope this is relevant to you. Good luck!! www.queensfarm.org/
Regenerative agriculture is also regenerative sociology. Urban blight is due to lack or connection to community and land. Looking for external sources of support, like some big corporate employer will remove the community from the input end of the equation. People are more than Labor.
I do the same thing, without the cringe lexicon.
Growing food in urban setting is not ideal. The heavy metals from car and building exhaust accumulates in the air, soil and water and transfers into the food. Best to use this space to grow flowers and other plants that aren't eaten
