| | Urban Agriculture: An Abbreviated List of References and Resource Guide 2000 |
 | | Taken literally, urban agriculture means "to establish and perform an agricultural practice in or near an urban or city-like setting." This is an oversimplified and somewhat open-ended attempt at defining what is a much broader and more complex system of dynamic variables. |
 | | Critics of urban agriculture claim that it is an unclean harbinger for disease, pest, noise, and pollution. |
 | | Note that some of the resources listed are available for reference at the National Agricultural Library, as indicated by the NAL call number, while others are available as reproduced copies in the reference files of urban agriculture at the Alternative Farming Systems Information Center, indicated by the acronym "AFSIC" after the entry. |
