This MCubed project focuses on the emergence of locally-owned food businesses in Detroit, as well as their connection to urban farming activities, city revitalization, and community wellness. We will study the juxtaposition of collaboration and capitalism and the roles of support networks and resource-sharing in effectively building this local-food movement. MCubed is a two-year seed-funding program designed to empower interdisciplinary teams of University of Michigan faculty to pursue new initiatives with major societal impact. The program minimizes the time between idea conception and successful research results by providing immediate startup funds for novel, high-risk and transformative research projects. The funds are intended to generate data for groundbreaking, high-impact publications, or preliminary results for new, innovative research proposals. The program also includes high-visibility, campus-wide research symposia to showcase the resulting groundbreaking research.
