URBAN AGRICULTURE AND INCOME CONTRIBUTION: EVIDENCE ACROSS HOUSEHOLD INCOME GROUPS IN YOGYAKARTA

Urban Farm DB summary

This study investigated how urban farming contributes to household income and shapes income disparities among urban farmers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using data from 217 urban farming households. Urban farming's contribution to total income was lowest among low–middle income households (1.38%) and highest among middle–high income households (50.06%), with an overall average of 30.98%. Regression analysis confirmed that higher-income households gain more from urban farming, while other income sources reduce its relative importance. These results suggest urban farming serves as a key income generator for wealthier households but remains supplementary for poorer ones.
