Urban agriculture utilizes resources such as land that have high demand for other urban uses. The economic relevance of urban agriculture in cities is being realized by city dwellers. Studies are being conducted to improve the understanding that urban agriculture contributes to the livelihoods of the urban society. These studies are becoming relevant as the rate of urbanization is becoming a threat to the developing countries. As T. F. Duressa pointed out many of the countries which experienced fast urban growths are mostly least-developed ones. These countries are "not" capable enough to provide sufficient food demanded by the expanding urban population.
