In realizing sustainable and environmentally sound urban development, urban farming deserves to be used as part of sustainable urban development. Urban farming can indirectly overcome social problems in urban areas. The role of urban farming can have a positive impact on several aspects, such as the economy, ecology, society, aesthetics, education and tourism. Urban agriculture has considerable potential to be developed. This study aims to determine the potential for developing urban farming in Yogyakarta. Analysis was carried out through quantitative descriptive supported by primary and secondary data. The results showed that urban farming activities were carried out through the cultivation of vegetables, fruit plants, medicinal plants, ornamental plants, fish cultivation, product processing and marketing. Efforts to develop urban farming in the city of Yogyakarta have good potential. Urban farming activities have the potential to be developed into agricultural, educational and tourism activities.
