Abstract


The implementation of urban agriculture is motivated by problems meeting food needs, increasing welfare, especially for the urban poor, and overcoming other urban community problems. Urban agriculture is an agricultural activity integrated into the city's economic system, ecosystem, and social life in urban areas. The development of urban agriculture in Makassar City is still experiencing various problems, so urban agriculture is difficult to develop. By using descriptive research methods with a qualitative approach, Group Discussion Forums (FGD), and SWOT Analysis, it is expected to determine strategies to implement urban agriculture in Makassar City. Primary data sources were 11 experts consisting of 2 government officials from related agencies and eight field extension officers (PPL) who guided their respective locations. The results of the data analysis show that the most appropriate strategy for implementing urban agriculture is an economical approach in the form of strengthening environmentally friendly technological innovation through educational activities to increase the community's knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Developing appropriate institutions and taking sides with the government, society, and institutions is another strategy that can be implemented so that the implementation of agriculture in community cities will be successful.
