Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of urban agriculture to households' livelihoods in Netherlands. Methodology: The study used a desktop literature review methodology (desk study). This required a thorough analysis of research on the contribution of urban agriculture to households' livelihoods in Netherlands. The subject of the study underwent three phases of sorting in order to assess its suitability for further study. Findings: The study concludes that the relation of urban agriculture to state governance is very critical since agriculture in Netherlands is intricately bound up with use and competition for resources. Unique Contribution to Theory Policy and Practice: This study recommends that agricultural areas in Netherlands should be designated so that they are easily controlled. Investments should be done in the state waste management to allow use of treated liquid and solid waste, while building capacity of farmers on its utilization. This may involve integration of urban agriculture in the state land use planning.
