URBAN FARMING WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF FOOD SECURITY AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY IN INDONESIA CITIES

Abstract

Urbanization has transformed urban population patterns, impacting composition, distribution, and growth. Urban farming, now widely adopted in cities globally, including in Indonesia, involves various methods of food production, from home gardens to using public spaces like rooftops. This study analyzes urban farming’s role in supporting food security and sustainable economics through a descriptive, qualitative approach, utilizing literature reviews of secondary data from journals, research reports, and official websites. Findings reveal that urban farming offers efficient, eco-friendly food production, providing a strategic path for urban food security in Indonesia. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology further optimizes urban farming, making it a practical and sustainable aspect of urban life.
