Given its status as the rice bowl of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta region is now confronted with significant
issues arising from fast urbanization and the escalating effects of climate change. This practice not only
diminishes agricultural land but also has a substantial impact on food security and the livelihoods of
millions of people. Within this particular framework, urban agriculture arises as a strategic remedy to
uphold the equilibrium between urban growth and environmental preservation, while simultaneously
strengthening the region's ability to withstand influences from climate change.
The present study undertakes an analysis of the prospective benefits of urban agriculture in terms of food
provision, carbon emission reduction, and vegetation creation for urban inhabitants. Empirical urban
agriculture models from other nations are examined and suggested for implementation in the Mekong
Delta, with the goal of achieving sustainable and all-encompassing development. Ultimately, the paper
provides suggestions on policies and planning, underscoring the need of including urban agriculture into
sustainable urban planning. This integration serves the dual purpose of safeguarding natural resources
and promoting long-term prosperity for the region, while also enhancing the quality of life for its
residents.
