Why it matters for urban farming
This research offers a crucial historical perspective on urban farming in Japan, helping citizen-driven urban farms understand their roots and evolution. By tracing the development of various urban agricultural spaces like allotment and community gardens, it provides insights into how these initiatives have been shaped by community needs, policy support, and educational efforts.
