ABOUT THE FILM
Visiting local gardens, farmers markets, and other fresh produce
projects in San Diego’s diverse urban neighborhoods, Land & Freedom
speaks with folks that are taking advantage of the city’s reformed
urban agriculture ordinances. Residents are finding alternatives to a
food system that has historically distressed low ­income communities,
eating healthier with produce they’ve grown themselves, using
community gardens like they would use parks, and displaying respect
for the neighborhoods they live in. Still, many people continue to
struggle with the lack of affordable fresh produce readily available
within neighborhoods and other resources to improve their lives.
