8pgs, The global trend of urbanization coupled with an increasing awareness of the importance of food systems resilience, has led to an increasing interest in urban agriculture to sustainably feed the rapidly growing urban population and mitigate against food supply chain disruptions. While home and community gardens have been long studied, there has been relatively little empirical research focused specifically on commercial urban agriculture (CUA) operations. The purpose of this study was to characterize commercial urban farms, and to identify their primary barriers to business development and expansion, their perceptions of future opportunities, and their specific informational needs. Because CUA has received relatively less attention in previous empirical research, a qualitative approach was used for this needs assessment to collect rich, contextualized information to help differentiate the specific barriers, opportunities and needs of CUA operations as opposed to their rural counterparts. We conducted semi-structured interviews (n = 29) of CUA producers in Florida. These interviews revealed that CUA operations face many of the same barriers that are common to establishing and growing small farms, with additional barriers due to local government regulations and tensions associated with farming on land that is not traditionally used for agriculture. Despite these difficulties, CUA operators believe their urban location is a key benefit to their operation and they see a variety of opportunities for future business and market expansion.

James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Partnerships between nutrition educators and industry are an emerging trend in nutrition education. In 1991, the Society for Nutrition Education (SNE) collaborated with McDonald's and CBS to develop 12 Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for children aged 4-10 years. These 55-second nutrition messages, titled "What's On Your Plate," are broadcast during prime viewing time on Saturday morning. While concerns have been expressed about this collaboration, it is not known whither the attitudes and perceptions differ between nutrition professionals and parents of young children regarding the partnership or the resulting program. To examine these views, we conducted six focus groups. Three were with parents of children aged 4-10 tears and three were with Registered Dietitians; all were residents of the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN area. After viewing segments of the PSAs, we asked participants about their perceptions of the program, sponsors, and nutrition messages. We also asked about their concerns related to industry sponsorship of nutrition messages and collaboration of SNE with an industry partner. Nutrition educators considering partnerships with industry will benefit by being aware of the differences and similarities of the perceptions and attitudes regarding partnerships of these two groups. These focus group results will be used to direct the development of a questionnaire to quantitatively evaluate differences in perceptions between Registered Dietitians and parents regarding industry sponsored nutrition education.

9 pages, via online journal, Farmers who engage in farmer participatory research (FPR) change their established social roles in households and communities. As such, comprehension of farmers’ role transitions is important to understand the extrinsic and intrinsic factors impeding or supporting the uptake and use of FPR by farmers. The existing FPR literature, however, does not address such role transitions. In this study, we analyzed farmers’ experiences with FPR and underlying role transitions in a commercial organic agriculture project in western Uganda. We drew on quantitative and qualitative data from interviews, group discussions, and observations involving farmers and extension workers. Our results suggest extrinsic and intrinsic factors affect farmers’ self-conception, influencing their willingness to participate in FPR. The level of alignment between the self-conception and the anticipated role determines farmers’ decision regarding participation in FPR and affects their response pattern. Farmers’ response pattern and individual set of inhibitors and facilitators lead to the experience of role insufficiency or role mastery, which is crucial for farmers’ continuation or termination of on-farm experiments. Understanding and facilitating role transitions is, therefore, essential for sustaining on-farm experiments, which complements current technical FPR training.
