Community gardening initiatives have been proposed as a potential solution to food security challenges in urban areas of developing countries like Ghana. Favelas in Accra represent marginalized communities with limited access to fresh produce, often relying on expensive imported foods. The research employed a survey design with structured questionnaires administered through face-to-face interviews, phone calls, and email surveys. Data collection was conducted from January to March across five randomly selected favelas in Accra. Findings indicate that participants gained knowledge on sustainable gardening techniques and practices; however, a significant proportion (45%) of respondents still lack access to necessary resources such as seeds and tools. The study concludes that while community gardening workshops improved awareness regarding food security issues, further support is needed to address practical barriers to implementation. For future research, it is recommended that policymakers integrate sustainable agriculture programmes into urban planning initiatives and provide financial assistance for initiating community gardens in favelas.
