Growing Food is Work: A Spatial and Social Analysis of Urban Agriculture in Houston

Increasing interest and awareness of urban agriculture’s contribution to food access, healthy eating, and community interaction have influenced activists and city officials to re-evaluate this activity’s role in sustainable city planning. While information regarding the spatial extent and socio-economic context of urban agriculture (UA) would be beneficial to city planners and policymakers as well as local communities, these data do not currently exist for most North American cities; moreover, the characteristics of UA sites, such as production practices and management strategies, are virtually unknown. This research addresses this gap through a systems-based approach to urban socio-natural landscapes, where UA sites are viewed as a system composed of three main components: spatial form, social process, and material metabolism. Spatial form was determined through a geospatial analysis of UA distribution within the socio-economic context of Houston, Texas. Both social process and material metabolism were discovered through surveys and semi-structured interviews regarding management strategies and food production practices for 31 UA sites. Qualitative data were analyzed in terms of UA site objectives, access rules, decision making, labor, harvest destination, and challenges. The interconnectedness between UA site objectives and site access was found to influence decision-making strategies, division of labor, and destination of the harvest. Variations in these characteristics indicate numerous circumstances in which UA sites produce food. All UA sites surveyed face challenges such as access to consistent and committed participants, an affordable water source, a safe and secure site, and funding

La misma realidad de cada lugar es diferente ( The same reality of each place is different ): A case study of an organic farmers market in Lima, Peru

Alternative food movements in North America and Western Europe have proliferated in recent years as producers and consumers attempt to reform what is perceived as a fatally flawed industrial food system. Meanwhile, agricultural producers in the global South are increasingly dispossessed of land and livelihoods as agro-industrial processes take on increasingly global dimensions. Given that many of the challenges facing small-scale producers in the North and South stem from similar patterns of agro-industrialization, might they also share similar responses to these challenges? In this article I make a case for broadening the geographic frame of reference for alternative food systems by comparing farmers\u27 market research from the US with an organic farmers\u27 market in Lima, Peru. Data is drawn from the experiences of agricultural exchange participants, and broadens the field of inquiry into alternative geographies of globalizations (Bebbington 2001). What lessons and insights gained from research into market-based agro-food initiatives in the US could be applied to the movement/market for organic produce in Peru? What makes the case in Peru distinct from alternative food movements in the US, and what lessons can be drawn from these distinctions?https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fss2014/1010/thumbnail.jp
