abstract: From global to local, urban farming has the capacity to contribute to the local economic growth, poverty reduction, social inclusion and greening of the city. For this reason, urban farming could be used as a tool to work towards sustainable development. To understand the correlation between urban farming and sustainable development, urban farming will be related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations. Further, this research will analyze how place-based approach can enhance the positive impact urban farming has on communities by focusing on the bottom-up initiatives. Place-based approach has the capacity to help increase the potential of urban farming initiatives as it focuses on the importance of context and the values the people involved give to the initiative and the location. This thesis aims to examine how place-based approach can enhance urban farming’s potential to contribute to the sustainable development of cities.
