Organic Farm Evicted For Wal-Mart?
L.A.'s South Central Farm, hailed as a model for sustainable living, faces destruction in the face of questionable motives.
According to USC Professor Clara Irazabal, "[T]he relevant question is not whether this urban farm should be preserved. This is the wrong question and one that diminishes the stature of your office and the trust we have invested in you. The question is, rather, how can we best help multiply urban farms like this one throughout Los Angeles and cities of the Americas and the world. As the era of oil inescapably comes to an end, we are going to be faced with the need, whether we like it or not, to live more compactly, thrifty, cooperatively, and in more direct connection with, and responsible for, the production of our own food."
