Urban agriculture continues to play a key role in addressing food insecurity and poverty across developing countries. This study used Landsat 5 imagery to map the spatial and temporal distribution of cropland in Harare Metropolitan in Zimbabwe using the Random Forest classifier in Google Earth Engine. Results show that the area under cultivation fluctuated considerably between 1985 and 2019 and several factors account for this trend. The results of this study illustrate the increasing importance of remote sensing in assessing cropland in urban areas that provides insights into the contribution of urban agriculture to food security
