Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to clarify the mechanism of social entrepreneurship in urban agriculture, and examine the relationships among social institutions, social business and the multi-functionality of urban agriculture in Japan and China. The method of trajectory equifinality modeling (TEM) is introduced to each three cases from Tokyo (Japan) and Shanghai (China). The results indicated that social entrepreneurship (SE) was affected by social institutions (SI) on one side, and it also enhanced changes in social institution through the activities of social business (SB) on the other. And social capital (SC) was critically important to social entrepreneurship for the development of social business. Furthermore, it is expected that the residents will have a deeper understanding and a more active involvement in urban agriculture with the development of social businesses that bring out the multi-functionality of agriculture if more stakeholders are involved.
