In this recent decade the world population increases with improving the health situation. Also people habits changed and cause that many person emigrate in the city and live in big city so in this resent year the main mount of the population of each country live in cities. The cities grown had many bad results for the environment, such way that we can see for the preparing of people that live in cities, agricultures force use a lot of chemical fertilizer in their field that it is really harmful for the environment. Also in some cases excessive use of water source cause they become dry. So the cities grow had many bad effect on environment but we can’t forbid growing the cities so it’s better that we have a sustainable solution for sustainable development. One of the sustainable ways for development that in recent year develop in the academic urbanism is Urban Agriculture. In this article at first we say some of the bad results of urban development on the environment and then introduce some of the main parameters of urban agriculture and check that how urban agriculture can be a sustainable way for developing. In the last we check the Isfahan structure and the potential that are in this city for develop of Urban Agriculture.

Urban agriculture represents a multifaceted domain of inquiry and practice that intersects with landscape architecture and a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. Despite its global recognition for its critical importance, urban agriculture has not garnered significant scholarly attention within the discipline of landscape architecture in Iran. This situation necessitates a thorough examination of its current standing within this field in Iran. The primary aim of this investigation is to clarify the role of urban agriculture within the landscape architecture domain in Iran, scrutinizing it from both research-oriented and professional viewpoints. The purpose is to delineate prospective avenues for future research and practice, while also underscoring vital yet inadequately explored facets within this area. The approach adopted for this inquiry is review-analytical. It systematically identifies and categorizes the existing literature, including papers, books, theses, reports, research institutions, and international projects about urban agriculture, with a particular focus on contributions made by landscape architects and prominent researchers in the field. Data collection was conducted through exhaustive searches of academic databases and global online resources. Although research on urban agriculture within the realm of landscape architecture has exhibited considerable international advancement, as evidenced by a robust body of literature comprising papers, books, theses, and research reports authored by specialists in the field, such research remains relatively scarce in Iran. From a professional standpoint, while urban agriculture has cultivated a substantial international presence within landscape architecture across various sectors, its status in Iran is markedly underdeveloped. This underdevelopment can be partially attributed to distinctive interpretations of the landscape approach prevalent within the discipline. To mitigate this issue, it is imperative to harness the experiences of leading nations while concurrently leveraging Iran’s internal capacities. This encompasses enhancing research and academic support, including encouraging students and universities to engage in landscape architecture programs, fortifying the professional job market, and elevating awareness among organizations and executive authorities. Such coordinated initiatives can engender an environment that is favorable to the advancement of urban agriculture within the landscape architecture discipline in Iran.

Background and Objective: In recent years, one of the strategies for sustainable urban development, preservation and development of urban agriculture as one of the main patterns for urban ecology and sustainability, which has been a key role in urban ecological balance as well as has the important role for food security and employment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate ecological and economic effects in urban agriculture for the urban sustainability. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated the ecological and economic impacts of urban agriculture for urban sustainability using library resources and questionnaire methods. In this study, Tabriz city has been selected as one of the metropolitan areas that changed urban green areas in the past decades. Nevertheless, Tabriz has very good potential for developing urban agriculture areas. For urban green land use changes the Landsat satellite imagery and for evaluation and simulation of environmental performance in urban agriculture areas the ENVI-met software are used. Results: The results show that the sprawl development of Tabriz caused many agriculture land and urban gardens destroyed in the past decades. But there are still urban agricultural areas in a part of Tabriz and it will provide ecological and economic services for the citizens. Protection and development of urban agriculture can play an essential role in employment, promotion of food security and improvement of the ecological condition of Tabriz city. Conclusion: The lack of proper planning of the urban development of Tabriz in the last decade has caused irreparable damage to the urban green spaces of Tabriz, especially urban agricultural lands, and the continuation of this trend in the coming years will threaten the sustainable urban development and ecological balance of Tabriz. But by maintaining and expanding urban agriculture, it is possible to strengthen both economically and ecologically in cities.

Urban agriculture is a widely used sustainability strategy to improve the stability of a city. One way to deal with urban problems is urban agriculture development. Urban agriculture can be a vital livelihood strategy for the urban poor in many developing countries resulting in benefits including enhanced food security and economic empowerment. In this regard, suitable conditions must be provided to use urban agricultural capacities. The aim of this study is to identify the driving factors of urban agriculture development. For this reason, driving factors to the development of urban agriculture are identified in the literature review, or by reviewing related researches, field observations and semi-structured interviews with 15 experts (urban planners, agriculture specialists and university faculty Members) in Tabriz city. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed with interpretive structural modeling technique and a MICMAC analysis. Findings show that research-development factor along with other factors such as,extension-education and financialtechnical support is the main driving factor of UA development and must be considered and reviewed more than other factors.

The purpose of the study was to identify the constrains affecting urban agriculture in Tehran, Iran. The statistical population of this study consisted of city dwellers within the 22 municipal districts of Tehran out of which 320 individuals were selected as the sample of the study. Cochran’s formula was used to determine the sampling size based on stratified sampling method. A panel of experts confirmed the validity of the questionnaire used in this study. The calculated Cronbach’s alpha for the main sections of the questionnaire was 0.95 and 0.93. Results of the ranking of constrains and challenges revealed that “high start-up costs” and “lack of knowledge among managers and authorities” were among the most important constrains. The results of factor analysis revealed that 7 factors including “education-research”, “infrastructure”, “support”, “regulations and policy making”, “technical”, “financial-economic” and “cultural” explained 67.36 of the variance. Although list of constrains revealed is not perfect, this work paves the way for further research regarding factors influencing urban agriculture. It also provides interesting information for planners about the challenges of urban agriculture development.
