  • Abstract
    To move agriculture toward the maintenance of the health of the land and of ecological integrity, urban agrarianism in America asserts that urbanites should also participate in the movement of sustainable agriculture. They may support the small, diversified farms through projects like community-supported agriculture (CSA); they may also become responsible and critical consumers by launching reforms in agricultural education and research, and in the making of agricultural policies. The impact of this urban agrarianism has been great. It has offered a creative and promising vision for urbanites and environmental protection in agriculture.
