Urban agriculture (UA) is seen as one of the solutions for ensuring food security in African cities, but it remains marginalized. In Burkina Faso, it is not explicitly taken into account in Agricultural Development Plans. Here we analyze the opportunities and constraints related to the practice of UA in the Green belt of Ouagadougou and provide informations that may be useful to land use decision-makers. The results after a review of literature and field surveys showed that women represented 55% of producers. The age of the producers was between 21 and 80 years old and that of the farms was between 1 and 70 years old. The surfaces managed are between 0.25 to 5 hectares. The farms found belonged to individuals 65% or families 35%. About 30 species of plants were grown for consumption or sale at the same proportions. The problems faced by farmers included lack of agricultural inputs and equipment, lack of irrigation water, low soil fertility. The solutions to overcome those problems according to the farmers included, support with fountains, fertilizers and finances. We found that men invested more in market oriented agriculture than women and that farmers who own land invested more in fertilizer application. The land acquisition is continuous and not organized leading to a degradation of the green belt. For a better management of the Green belt we suggest among other things to develop a management plan and set up an exchange framework and precise specifications for the exploitations.
