Urban agriculture is an alternative for generating jobs, food production and sustainable development in cities. However, the activity has faced challenges being carried out in Brazil, often spontaneously and lacking government support. Thus, this work aimed at highlighting the contribution of urban gardens to the promotion of Food and Nutrition Security (production and availability) and sustainable development in the city of Salvador, Brazil. A descriptive study was carried out, with data collection from farmers in urban gardens in the city. It was shown that the gardens have been promoting work and generating income for families, contributing to food supply and security. In addition to producing fresh vegetables for the local population, the activity contributes to the balance of ecosystems and sustainability. Due to its strategic relevance, the findings point to the need for urban gardens to be included in the formulation of supply and sustainable development policies in the city
