I really appreciate all the activity folks. 
Since the "how-to" post that's upcoming is going to begin with this directly (and just to ask the question again to get feedback)...If any of you were going to start an urban farm why would you do it? Would it be strictly business for you? Social activism? Environmental activism? A labor of love with no regard for returns? Maybe some mixture of the above (and if so which motivations are the strongest?) Maybe motivations I haven't even touched on?
I ask this on the one hand because I love to hear your opinions and on the other because this question is very important in determining what sort of operation the urban farm would be. It's the very first decision to make and everything follows from here.
(Mr. Smith wants to turn a profit btw...but he also wants to be sustainable and affordable..so his motivations are mixed.)
