When an urbanfarming strategy is introduced to an open land it may affect the neighbouring activities, mainly residential.
What are the parameters to be studied to find out the impact?Mainly ecologically and psychologically?
Can this develop a new culture of farming in urban dwellers, and later they practise farming inside their house?
Interesting question. I would examine their use of herbicides / pesticides and see if they effected asthma and other ailments among nearby elderly and children. Do they have programs for children to grow food and learn about vegetables, good nutrition? (See Alice Waters and her program for children's farms at schools). How is the food distributed? do they have local crop swaps? boxes delivered to local homes? is it sold at farmer's markets? See the Ecology Center farmer's markets in Berkeley, CA. Are there communal farms? lots of possibilities....
