  1. Theorizing urban agriculture: north–south convergence.Leslie Gray, Laureen Elgert & Antoinette WinklerPrins - 2020 - Agriculture and Human Values 37 (3):869-883.
    Few topics have been addressed through as large a range of perspectives and interests as urban agriculture (UA), yet the literature has been loosely characterized by a divergence and disconnect between research conducted in the global north (GN), and that in the global south (GS). In cities of the global south, UA is widely analyzed through a productivist lens, focusing on food production and individual or household-level contributions of urban farming to food security, household income, and livelihoods. Meanwhile, in cities (...)

  • Committing to change? A case study on volunteer engagement at a New Zealand urban farm.Daniel C. Kelly - 2023 - Agriculture and Human Values 40 (3):1317-1331.
    Urban agriculture is a promising avenue for food system change; however, projects often struggle with a lack of volunteers—limiting both their immediate goals and the broader movement-building to which many alternative food initiatives (AFIs) aspire. In this paper, I adopt a case study approach focusing on Farm X, an urban farm with a strong volunteer culture located in Tāmaki-Makaurau Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. Drawing on a significant period of researcher participation and 11 in-depth interviews with volunteers and project coordinators, (...)

  • Assembling agroecological socio-natures: a political ecology analysis of urban and peri-urban agriculture in Rosario, Argentina.Colleen Hammelman, Elizabeth Shoffner, Maria Cruzat & Samantha Lee - 2021 - Agriculture and Human Values 39 (1):371-383.
    Rosario, Argentina, a city of more than one million people strategically located on the Paraná River in the heart of a fertile agricultural region, is home to a significant industrial corridor where ongoing urbanization for industry, including that associated with the port complex and agroexport industries, vies for real estate space with peri-urban and urban farming production. The city is also the site of thriving municipal programs seeking to change food production and consumption outcomes through urban and peri-urban agriculture projects (...)

  • Producing space, cultivating community: the story of Prague´s new community gardens.Jana Spilková - 2017 - Agriculture and Human Values 34 (4):887-897.
    This paper aims to fill the gap in literature concerning community gardens in post-communist countries by focusing on the situation in Prague, Czechia. It introduces Prague′s newly emerged community gardens and presents the results of a first representative survey of these gardens. Information was gathered about eleven of the sixteen larger community gardens and the data were collected by semi-structured interviews with the managers of the particular gardens. The paper compares the Czech community gardens as representatives of civic agriculture forms (...)

  • The spaces and times of community farming.Pingyang Liu, Paul Gilchrist, Becky Taylor & Neil Ravenscroft - 2017 - Agriculture and Human Values 34 (2):363-375.
    This paper uses a multiple case study approach to researching people’s everyday lives and experiences of six community farms and gardens in diverse settings in China and England. We argue that collective understandings of community are bound up in everyday action in particular spaces and times. Successful community farms and gardens are those that are able to provide suitable spaces and times for these actions so that their members can enjoy multiple benefit streams. These benefits are largely universal: in very (...)
