This study aimed to assess the contributing aspects and design decentralized adaptive models for urban agriculture. The research techniques included data collection, surveying and interviewing farmers, statistical analysis and FAO land suitability assessment techniques. The results show that the model of growing green vegetables, fruits and vegetables outside, together with decorative plants, orchids and raising cattle, is the most effective. Moreover, job-creating models boost income, calm down people, spread joy, supply clean food right away, provide room for greenery, recycle agricultural waste and reduce environmental pollution. The outcome is the foundation for selecting the best foreign investment model for future growth. According to the study's findings, sustainable agricultural options for the area assist people in living better, protecting the environment, and earning more money in the future.
