Building a data collection plan for urban agriculture activities

Several commercial and community-run urban agriculture initiatives have recently been created in Bordeaux-Cartierville. The network sought to create a set of indicators and data collection mechanisms to better understand their activities across the neighbourhood. Existing tools were adapted and simplified for their context, resulting in a more functional tool for diverse users. The tool supports communication between community workers and facilitates urban agriculture efforts in the neighbourhood. The tool could be adapted by other community food networks to better understand the scope and reach of urban agriculture activities on their territory.
