%X Growing food presents diverse challenges and opportunities withinthe urban environment. As cities develop, population density rises, land pricesrise, and the opportunity to use land for traditional farming and gardening diminishes.Counter to this trend there are a growing number of community gardens,city farms, guerrilla gardening, rooftop and vertical gardens, pot plants,windowsill herbs, and other balcony or backyard gardens cropping up in cities,all with a purpose to produce food. This workshop brings together practitionersand researchers in the field of urban agriculture and Human-Computer Interactionto explore and opportunities for technology design to support differentforms of growing practice and foster local food production in cities.This 1-day workshop will serve as an active forum for researchers andpractitioners across various fields including, but not limited to, agriculture andgardening, education, urban planning, human-computer interaction, andcommunity engagement. This workshop has three distinct points of focus: i) Individualand small-scale gardening and food production, and how to connectlike-minded people who are involved in these practices to share their knowledgeii) Communities involved in urban agriculture, either through communitygardens, city farms, or grassroots movements, often dependent on volunteerparticipation, providing the challenge of managing limited resources iii) Environmentaland sociocultural sustainability through urban agriculture..The participants will have an opportunity to present their own work. Thiswill be followed by a visit to a nearby city farm, which will provide a local contextfor a group design exercise. Finally the workshop will conclude with paneldiscussions to review opportunities for further research and collaborationsbeyond the conference.For more information, please visit the workshop website, athttp://www.urbaninformatics.net/resources/interact2013cfp/
