Urban agriculture is an important economic activity both for poor and commercial urban farmers. Urban agriculture constitutes an important food security strategy for poor urban farming families. Commercial urban agriculture makes a significant contribution to employment and income generation. The role of urban agriculture has become even more critical in Kenya because of the deteriorating urban poverty situation. Kenyan urban poverty is estimated at 50 per cent and it is feared that the situation will deteriorate in the future (Republic of Kenya 2002).
