ABSTRACT: Although urban agriculture (UA) can aid economic development, food inflation, unemployment, and nutritional insecurity often necessitate urban households to engage in various agricultural practices. Hence, the study aimed to identify UA practices adopted and their determinants in the Eastern Haraghe zone of the Oromia region and Dire Dawa City Administration, Eastern Ethiopia. Data was collected from 385 randomly selected urban households using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and a Multivariate Probit (MVP) model were used to analyze the data.
