The urban areas in Indonesia are growing rapidly, in which several sustainability issues arise including food security, land-use change, environmental quality, and the well-being of the urban society. The pandemic era of COVID-19 also adds pressure through the reality of people who are encouraged to stay at home and follow health protocols. Therefore, an understanding of alternative activities that can contribute to environmental sustainability and a healthy lifestyle that urban communities can do is needed. In this study, the writing team highlighted the concepts of urban farming and gardening to facilitate the development of movements to advance community wel-fare and environmental sustainability. This study uses the approach of literature review and we compiled the results to highlight the state-of-the-art for urban farming and gardening concepts in Indonesia, focusing on its influence to improve the well-being aspect. It is understood that the urban farming and gardening movement is not only giving benefits in the form of economical incentives as an alternative livelihood, environment conservation, and socio-culture movement, but there is also the insight of improving the well-being of the urban population within their routine and the isolation during the pandemic era. The initiative from the community and the support from the government and various stakeholders play an important role to facilitate the urban farming and gardening movement in Indonesia. |
