Abstract

Urban farming is a promising approach that can promote sustainable development and improve food security. In Indonesia, this farming approach can be best implemented in Malang City, a region with a high demand for housing and a shortage of land. This study aims to identify the variations of implementing urban farming to improve food safety and achieve community resilience. This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research was conducted qualitatively using library analysis tools. Searches for data and library sources were conducted using online search tools such as Mendeley, Zotero, Publish or Perish, and Google Scholar. These tools contained the journal indexing platforms, such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, and other supporting journals. The results of this research showed that urban agriculture could improve family food security. Further, this research indicated that business motivation, human resource capacity, and community participation were critical factors that could significantly increase economic empowerment. The research also found that urban agriculture could be implemented on a small or large scale. One of the implementations, for instance, is through the vertical hydroponic superblocks that can offer various benefits, including increased sustainability, reduced environmental impact, and improved quality of life for residents.
