| Summary: | The development of the agricultural sector often faced with various problems, one of which is the widespread land conversion that occurs in urban and suburban areas. One way to overcome the problem of decreasing land area is to develop urban agriculture. This study aims to assess the adoption of urban agriculture practices in urban and suburban communities, analyze their interest in implementing these practices, and identify the factors that influence this interest. Utilizing descriptive the research reveals that suburban communities exhibit a higher interest in urban agriculture compared to urban communities. An ordinal logistic regression model was used to to analyze the factors that influence interest in implementing urban agriculture. Key factors influencing this interest include education level, which has a negative impact; income level and land area, both of which positively influence interest. Interestingly, age does not significantly affect the willingness to adopt urban agriculture. By enhancing community awareness and improving accessibility could further promote urban agriculture adoption, particularly in suburban areas. |
