Book Chapter
'Growing food is work': the labour challenges of urban agriculture in Houston, Texas
2017
Overview
This chapter presents findings from a study of 31 urban agriculture (UA) sites in Houston (Texas, USA), which examined the site objective, plot access regime, land tenure, cultivation practices, labour, capital, and harvest destination. Results show, among others, that the all-access regime is considerably more prevalent than allotments; churches are desirable locations for UA; and obtaining a consistent workforce is the most commonly cited challenge for UA organizers.
