Idaho Statutes Title 22. Agriculture and Horticulture § 22-1001. Legislative findings

The legislature finds that urban agriculture is the production of food and other agricultural products in urban areas of city impact settings. This includes in-ground and raised-bed production as well as aquaponic and hydroponic production systems. Additionally, urban agriculture also includes the rearing of honeybees, fish, and livestock where allowed by local government. There are four (4) broad categories of urban agriculture: Market gardening, urban farming, community gardening, and victory gardening. Urban agriculture can be a profession, supplemental or livelihood, a form of therapeutic work, a form of recreation, a mode of education, a practice of community development, an effort to increase food security and community nutrition, and a way to regenerate and beautify neighborhoods.
