In Russia, agricultural activities of the urban inhabitants are taking place at
significant distances from their urban homes (see Moldakov 2000). The term
“urban agriculture” refers more to agricultural activities of city dwellers than to
agricultural activities within the city boundaries only. The agricultural sites, usually
with a house, are called dachas and are located between 6 and 60 km from the city.
