Urban agriculture is growing in Swakopmund as the municipality and some learning institutions continue to empower residents through the allocation of more land.

Urban agriculture is a particular focus area in the Swakopmund Municipality's strategic plan.

The Municipality and stakeholders, including the Government of Japan, initiated the Build Back Better Urban Agriculture Project at Swakopmund.

Since 2020, the project has recorded bumper harvests and expanded access to housing for residents who are from disadvantaged backgrounds.
