de site, ghent

In Ghent I also took the opportunity to visit 'de site', interviewing Christoph, one of the organisers, on video.
This derelict industrial site has been used to provide small plots of soil, all brought in from elsewhere and placed on top of the concrete which prevents harmful industrial chemicals from escaping, which are used by families in this deprived neighbourhood for growing flowers and vegetables, which saves carbon emissions by providing local food.
