The front yard of a house in urban Los Angeles isn't a place you'd expect to find a farm which produces enough green vegetables to feed fifty families. But that's exactly what the organisation Crop Swap LA has achieved. As well as supplying the families vegetables on a weekly basis, the cooperative also donates 10% of its crops to a community fridge for others to take as they need.
So far it hasn't had any problem with pests... using wolf urine as a natural deterrent.
Jamiah Hargins founded the organisation. He says it is a direct community response to the lack of good food and groceries available locally.
"It's food apartheid. It's an intentional guiding of power and influence and the economy in a way that depletes certain neighbourhoods of food. So what we're doing is saying we can instead create our own systems, support our own economics and grow food that we all love."
