Abstract
Urban agriculture in Tanzania has been in existence for many decades. Presently urban agriculture is
both extensive and intensive. Urban farmers come from all walks of life. From highly placed
government civil servants and wealthy businessmen to the most disadvantaged slum dwellers. Urban
agriculture is constrained by a number of factors including the legal restrictions which dictate the type
of crops to be planted and the number of livestock an urban farmer should keep. This paper highlights
the potential of urban agriculture, its constraints and possible solutions.
