In many US states, the power to regulate urban agriculture (UA) rests in local governments. Although there has been increased interest in UA, some local governments have been slow to adopt policies or ordinances to foster food production in urban areas or have actively sought to limit UA in their municipalities. To learn more about the disconnect between resident interest and local government policy, University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension and Center for Public Issues Education conducted a statewide survey of local government stakeholders (LGS) to assess their attitudes toward UA, subjective knowledge of UA, perceived benefits of and barriers to the implementation of UA and educational needs. Responses were collected using 5-point semantic differential and Likert-type scales. Overall, respondents displayed positive attitudes and moderate knowledge of UA, and they identified a number of benefits of and barriers to implementing UA in their communities. The findings of this study support the hypothesis that lack of basic knowledge about UA is one difficulty in fostering UA. Despite being positively disposed toward UA, LGS may not fully understand how to effectively develop and implement policies to foster UA. This finding may also help explain reluctance to adopt local government policies to support UA. Efforts to provide LGS key information and enhance their knowledge of UA may support the development of UA activities.

都市农业:地方政府利益相关者的观点和信息需求

在美国的许多州,管理都市农业 (UA) 的权力掌握在地方政府手中。尽管人们对 UA 的兴趣有所增加,但一些地方政府在采取政策或条例来促进城市地区的粮食生产方面进展缓慢,或者积极寻求限制其所在城市的 UA。为了更多地了解居民利益与地方政府政策之间的脱节,佛罗里达大学食品与农业科学研究所推广和公共问题教育中心对地方政府利益相关者 (LGS) 进行了全州调查,以评估他们对 UA 的态度,主观UA 的知识、感知到的 UA 实施的好处和障碍以及教育需求。使用 5 点语义差异和李克特型量表收集响应。全面的,受访者对 UA 表现出积极的态度和适度的知识,他们确定了在其社区实施 UA 的一些好处和障碍。这项研究的结果支持这样一个假设,即缺乏关于 UA 的基本知识是培养 UA 的一个困难。尽管对 UA 持积极态度,但 LGS 可能并不完全了解如何有效制定和实施促进 UA 的政策。这一发现也可能有助于解释不愿采用地方政府政策来支持 UA。努力提供 LGS 关键信息并增强他们对 UA 的了解可能会支持 UA 活动的发展。这项研究的结果支持这样一个假设,即缺乏关于 UA 的基本知识是培养 UA 的一个困难。尽管对 UA 持积极态度,但 LGS 可能并不完全了解如何有效制定和实施促进 UA 的政策。这一发现也可能有助于解释不愿采用地方政府政策来支持 UA。努力提供 LGS 关键信息并增强他们对 UA 的了解可能会支持 UA 活动的发展。这项研究的结果支持这样一个假设,即缺乏关于 UA 的基本知识是培养 UA 的一个困难。尽管对 UA 持积极态度,但 LGS 可能并不完全了解如何有效制定和实施促进 UA 的政策。这一发现也可能有助于解释不愿采用地方政府政策来支持 UA。努力提供 LGS 关键信息并增强他们对 UA 的了解可能会支持 UA 活动的发展。
