Abstract
This article investigates the functions that urban gardens have in Mexico City two years after the start-up of the Food Sustainability System (SSA) integrated, among others, by the Law of Urban Gardens (LHU). To identify the different functions, multifunctionality was taken as a guiding concept, through this it is sought to identify the environmental, economic and sociocultural functions of urban gardens. A qualitative study was carried out, the information was collected through open and semi-structured interviews, as well as a review of official documents and legal instruments. Although the LHU makes visible the importance of urban gandens, in terms of the aforementioned functions, there is a clear tendency for public officials to privilege the environmental ones, while for users the sociocultural are the most relevant.
