ABTSTRACT
Almost 70 percent of the respondents
maintained that urban agriculture is
important for them as they use all the
produce for household consumption.
They also highlighted that the crops
provide them with fresh supplies and a
variety of food cheaply. Almost the same
number of people produces less than 6
bags (50 kg) of maize yearly. About 18
percent produce 7-15 bags while the rest
could not quantify their produce. Some
rear chickens and pigs for sale and grow
crops in order to feed their animals. The
end result in all cases is improved food
security since the money from sales can
be used to buy household needs and
provide extra cash. It can be argued that
city farming has been effective in ensuring
household survival though this is dependent
on the resources commanded by
different households in practising urban
agriculture.
