Why it matters for urban farming

This survey is highly relevant for citizen-driven urban farming as it directly captures the voices of urban farm users. By understanding what motivates citizens to join (e.g., health, community, food education), what satisfies them, and what challenges they face, urban farm organizers and participants can better shape their activities and advocate for their needs. For citizens, it highlights that their feedback can directly inform and improve municipal policies, leading to better support, resources, and information (like the 'Citizen Farm Map') for urban farming initiatives in their city.
