Resources on Urban Agriculture Impacts available online

The UC Sustainable Agriculture and Education Program has created several resources to make current research on impacts accessible to urban agriculture practitioners. SAREP has compiled an extensive annotated bibliography on social, health, and economic impacts of urban agriculture, titled Urban Agriculture Impacts: Social, Economic, and Health: An Annotated Bibliography. The bibliography includes peer-reviewed articles from academic journals, professional reports from non-profits, foundations, and government agencies, as well as a few books. This annotated bibliography is meant to provide policy makers and urban agriculture practitioners with articles that discuss researched impacts. It is accompanied by a quick-reference resource called Urban Agriculture Impacts: Social, Health and Economic: At a Glance. Also offered is Urban Agriculture Impacts: Social, Economic, and Health: A Literature Review, which summarizes the social, economic, and health impacts discussed in the literature. It is meant to be a synthesis of the most commonly cited impacts.
