Therefore, the overall impact is still unpredictable although lockdown efforts seem to have reduced infection rates substantially. In response to these challenges, this study proposes the implementation of Urban farming towards a sustainable economy, establishing food security and creating the ability for the generation of household income for the B40 group.This study considers urban agriculture to be broadly progressive and capable of delivering a suite of environmental, economic, food security and social benefits.
