“…In many Global North cities, including in Poland, there was a significant increase in the production of vegetables in allotment gardens and kitchen gardens [76]. Some authors [79,80] already present initial findings confirming that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in higher acceptance of urban farming.…”

et al. 2023

This study aims to identify the success factors and main barriers and threats to developing peri-urban farms implementing various business models. For that purpose, a survey was conducted among a group of Polish farms located in the areas surrounding the largest Polish cities. Farms achieving economic success and implementing different business models were selected. The analyses were based on the concept of the business model developed by Osterwalder. The research shows that in recent years (due to the COVID-19 pandemic, among other things), there has been a considerable convergence in employed business solutions. The convergence process is particularly evident in the customer side of business models, i.e., customer relationships and channels. According to the respondents, the success of peri-urban farms is determined mainly by three groups of factors: (1) motivation, diligence, and creativity, (2) the high quality of products and services, and (3) the cultivation of deep bonds with customers. Thus, success comes from within the enterprise (relational capital), but the customer (service-dominant logic) is central to business model development. Farm managers indicated relatively few problems and barriers in their farms’ development process. However, urban pressure (an external factor independent from farm managers) was considered the most important factor. The research enabled the presentation of the best business solutions and formulation of a few recommendations for peri-urban farming development.

“…Si a la inclusión de la naturaleza urbana se incorpora la intención hortícola, ello puede contribuir a recuperar la salud mental, como lo señala Vujcic (2017), pero además coadyuvar a la economía casera como Komalawati (2022) lo expone en una investigación realizada en Asia; lo antrior representa varias ventajas ya que puede utilizarse los remanentes urbanos que nadie quiere pero que en términos vegetales pueden ser de gran utilidad social y productiva.…”

La agricultura urbana es la actividad de cultivar y cosechar alimentos en la ciudad para garantizar el abastecimiento de su población: lo que en siglos pasados fue una práctica común alrededor de los asentamientos humanos ahora es una nueva tendencia para la sostenibilidad urbana. Actualmente el mundo enfrenta una crisis ambiental por la talla de las ciudades y su repercusión en el planeta, y una de las tantas repercusiones es una agricultura insostenible que realiza un encomiable esfuerzo para alimentar a una legión infinita de personas que poco conocen del campo y de sus efectos bonancibles para la salud mental y el bienestar de personas.

“…The size of UA depends on public engagement and rising space. In some parts of the developed world, urban food production is dying out, and expensive land leases, lack of growing space security, high costs of setting up and operating farms in urban areas, and low demand for urbangrown produce can discourage or prevent UA businesses and social enterprises [79].…”

This review delves into the historical evolution of urban farming, tracing its roots from ancient civilizations to modern-day urban landscapes. It explores diverse urban farming models, ranging from rooftop gardens and vertical farms to community gardens and hydroponic systems, highlighting their unique characteristics and contributions to food security, environmental sustainability, and community resilience. Additionally, the abstract addresses the myriad challenges faced by urban farmers, including limited space, soil contamination, regulatory hurdles, and access to resources. Despite these challenges, urban farming presents abundant opportunities for innovation, social entrepreneurship, and urban revitalization. By leveraging technological advancements, community engagement, and policy support, urban farming has the potential to transform cities into vibrant hubs of agricultural production and sustainability. This abstract sets the stage for a comprehensive review that not only illuminates the past and present of urban farming but also identifies pathways for its future growth and impact in shaping resilient, equitable, and sustainable cities.
