Abstract
Urban agriculture has the capacity to support urban social‐ecological systems, yet little is known about how it is integrated into the community building processes and how it creates resilience for local communities. This research offers insight into post‐Katrina urban agricultural development in Village de L’Est in New Orleans, Louisiana. Based on a review of the rebuilding efforts for the Vietnamese village after Hurricane Katrina, it draws from archival research supplemented with interviews and field observations to reveal how urban agriculture becomes an integral part of community rebuilding schemes and contributes to resilience in the urban ethnic community. Results indicate that the development of urban agriculture has been essential to the community’s long‐term resilience strategies, while the sociocultural and economic values associated with urban agriculture promote community empowerment and enhance food security and resilience.
城市农业具有支持城市社会生态系统的能力,但人们对其如何融入社区建设过程以及如何为当地社区创造复原力知之甚少。这项研究为路易斯安那州新奥尔良市de L 'Est村卡特里娜飓风后的城市农业发展提供了见解。本文基于对卡特里娜飓风后越南村庄重建工作的回顾,从档案研究、访谈和实地观察中得出结论,揭示都市农业如何成为社区重建计划的一个组成部分,并有助于城市少数民族社区的恢复力。结果表明,城市农业的发展对社区的长期抵御力战略至关重要,而与城市农业相关的社会文化和经济价值促进了社区赋权,增强了粮食安全和抵御力。
