      The authors find that food production is an essential part of the mission for all urban farms. Some farms have social missions, as well, which the survey results indicate are related to food security, education, and community building. The authors find that all urban farms, regardless of their mission, are relatively small and face similar challenges in terms of providing the primary farmer with a living.

Urban farms located in with lower median income are more likely to have social goals related to building community or improving security food security.Tags:                agriculture_urbaine
