Resumen

Desde los años 70 hasta la actualidad aparecen programas de huertos comunitarios promovidos por movimientos sociales urbanos y administraciones locales con diversos fines. El objeto del trabajo fue relacionar las motivaciones que llevan a los jubilados a cultivar huertos urbanos con sus características sociodemográficas, pudiendo contribuir a satisfacer mejor las expectativas de los hortelanos. Para ello se opto por un análisis cualitativo y mediante entrevistas personales se consulto a una muestra de hortelanos de Valladolid, jubilados y del programa de huertos del Ayuntamiento. Mediante un análisis de significación se relacionaron las variables categóricas. Los jubilados cultivan los huertos principalmente por ocio, seguido de motivos terapéuticos y para obtener alimentos saludables. El trabajo confirmo que existe relación entre las motivaciones y sus características sociales y demográficas. En el caso de los jubilados de Valladolid la procedencia y el sector de actividad condicionaban los motivos de cada hortelano para cultivar el huerto.
