Abstract
This review summarizes relevant research on the relevance of urban agriculture and how best
various Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be used in accessing and
disseminating livestock husbandry information, in order to improve livestock husbandry
practices in urban areas. Specifically, it reviews studies that have been conducted in relation to
urban agricultural practices, the challenges of keeping livestock in urban areas and the solutions
to overcome the challenges of urban livestock keeping. The review also discusses the extent of
ICT integration in agriculture from a global perspective and specifically in Africa and Tanzania.
The review focuses on the information needs of urban livestock keepers and the challenges
encountered in using various ICTs in accessing livestock husbandry information. This review
reveals gaps in the literature and recommends on possible ways forward that relevant
stakeholders may take to address these gaps.
