Abstract: Urban population is growing rapidly in Nepal and similarly fallowing of land is increasing in villages. This decreases the total production and increases import of food products. In order to be self-sufficient on vegetable needs of the country, urban agriculture plays an important role. Along with food security, urban agriculture will aid in waste management, human resource utilization, health hygiene and economic growth of urban community. To find out the present situation of urban agriculture in Nepal, a case study was done in Pokhara and Dhulikhel municipality.This study will help in understanding benefits and reasons to enroll in urban agriculture. From this study, area of 150m2 was found sufficient to fulfill the vegetable demand of the urban family with 4/5 siblings which will save Rs6000-8000 /year/100sqm.
