摘要：For over 30 years, different urban agriculture (UA)
experiments have been undertaken in Montreal (Quebec, Canada). The
Community Gardening Program, managed by the City, and 6 collective gardens,
managed by community organizations, are discussed in this article. These
experiments have different objectives, including food security,
socialization and education. Although these have changed over time, they
have also differed depending on geographic location (neighbourhood). The UA
initiatives in Montreal have resulted in the development of a centre with a
significant vegetable production and a socialization and education
environment that fosters individual and collective social development in
districts with a significant economically disadvantaged population. The
various approaches attain the established objectives and these are
multi-dimensional tools used for the social development of disadvantaged
populations.
