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?

social activism, i don't even think projects like this can turn a profit, not enviromentalism either, the only effects I can picture would be improved air quality for the neighborhood, and besides would you want to eat food that wa grown in the most polluttted neighborhood on earth?

if I were to start a farm it would look like this:
