What drives participation in urban agriculture? Evidence from Türkiye

Öz

Urban agriculture has gained increasing importance in discussions on food security, sustainability, local production capacity, and urban resilience. However, empirical evidence on the factors determining individuals’ participation in urban agriculture remains limited, particularly in the context of developing countries such as Türkiye. This study aims to examine the relationships between socio-demographic characteristics, prior agricultural experience, policy awareness, and behavioral changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in shaping the intention to participate in urban agriculture in Türkiye. The study adopts a quantitative research design, and the data collected through a structured survey were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model. The findings indicate that prior agricultural experience is the strongest determinant of the intention to participate in urban agriculture. Individuals with previous experience in agricultural activities are significantly more likely to engage in urban agriculture. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceptions of food production, food access, and self-sufficiency positively influence participation intention. In contrast, education level and policy awareness regarding urban agriculture do not show significant explanatory power. The results reveal a clear gap between awareness and behavioral participation. Therefore, policies supporting urban agriculture should focus not only on information dissemination but also on practical training, experience-building opportunities, accessible production spaces, and strategies to reduce practical barriers.
