To scale up the benefits of existing urban agriculture operations, especially as it confronts large expanses of vacant land, Detroit should actively promote urban agriculture on a widespread scale. The enormity of Detroit\u2019s vacant land is overwhelming even to urban experts, and there is little to no market demand for new residential, commercial or industrial developments. The few recent developments have been small, scattered and required major public subsidies. Urban agriculture, on the other hand, does not rely upon subsidies and serves a local demand for wholesome, inexpensive food, while providing residents with jobs, a method for eliminating neighborhood blight and a greater feeling of self- worth. <a href=\"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/promoting-urban-agriculture-as-an-alternative-land-use-for-vacant-properties-in-the-city-of-detroit-benefits-problems-and-proposals-for-a-regulatory-framework-for-successful-land-use-integration\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">→<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[9,113],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1180,"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions\/1180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waynelawreview.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
