Urban agriculture is becoming an ever-increasing activity in Indianapolis and other cities around the country. The advantages of urban farming fills an important niche that provides fresh food alternatives, increases food and nutrition awareness, and enhances an ecological relationship between the environment and the community. The multidimensional impacts of urban agriculture are often overlooked. In collaboration with the Indy Food Council and local farmers, IUPUI documented food access, agrobiodiversity, soil health, health education, and social interactions in Marion County. The preliminary research findings suggest a mixed performance with these indicators. Successful urban agriculture depends on various factors such as sustained leadership commitment, operational costs, available resources, and volunteer commitments. The contribution of urban agriculture study in Indianapolis lends itself to an integrative assessment to support urban planning and policy.
