There are long traditions of farming intensively within and at the periphery of cities. Each tradition is deeply rooted in local concepts of city and community, and in local societal and cultural practices. Urban Horticulture varies with country, local culture, and traditions and it may involve cultivation of ornamental and medicinal species such as fruit, vegetables, tubers, herbs, aromatic plants, roots, mushrooms and so on mainly in the city where there is competition for land. It could involve the use of plants for recreation, the design of landscape, public facilities, or therapy of ill and disabled individuals. Today, in Ethiopia, urban farming is becoming increasingly significant as a source of household food, a trend that is closely linked to declining incomes of vulnerable urban households in the wake of economic restructuring, high rates of urbanization, and the need to serve an emerging niche market.
