Prepare | In this field assignment you will investigate the issues of Political, Territorial and Legal Issues relating to urban agriculture.
Research
Consider the following issues:

- Each state, each county and indeed each municipality may have different laws, ordinances and restrictions.
- Second the reasons for such restrictions are not uniform. Many are based on opinion or even worse, misinformation.
- Within the legal structures of political boundaries, states, counties, municipalities there exist other entities with the power to regulate what happens within their borders, homeowner and condominium associations.
- The conditions, covenants and restrictions (known as CC&Rs) put in place by these organizations are binding contracts and may be much more restrictive than any local law or ordinance.
Analyze | For this assignment you will research two instances of political, territorial or legal issues relating to urban agriculture. First you will find a situation where urban agriculture is being impeded, hindered or prevented by legislation or regulation. Second you will find a situation where a law, ordinance, regulation or restriction was created, modified or removed to the benefit of urban agriculture.
