To understand how COVID-19 has influenced the practices of community-led urban agricultural spaces, we suggest that future efforts take into consideration three essential areas of focus: uses of community gardening in com­bat­ing food insecurity during a pandemic, changes in community garden operations in response to crises, and community garden­ing’s role in nurturing emotional well-being.</p> ER -
