| dc.description.abstract | Objective - To assess the motivating factors in participation of community garden users. This was done through a series of short interviews with users at various locations. An attempt to discover a set of morals and values, goals that are similar in all users. And distinguish whether values are environmental, communal, economical. Conclusions - Primary motivating factor seems to be a sense of connection to healthy food/to the earth. Economical, environmental and communal social reasons are secondary, or not motivating factors. | en |
