N2  - With the current pressing issue of poor food security especially in urban 
and suburban areas, and even with the Philippines as a major agricultural 
producer in Asia, the need to address food shortages and poor food access 
and availability is higher. Emergence of strategies such as Urban Organic 
Agriculture and Landscaping are projected to provide the solution to the issues 
as well as improve the state of food security, such as the Gulayan sa Barangay 
encouraged by the Local Government of Davao City. The study aimed to bridge 
food demand, especially that of vegetable crops, and consumers by developing 
the ideal space allocation and arrangement in the design and zoning of a 
residential community that incorporates Urban Vegetable Gardening practices. 
Through identifying the commonly consumed vegetable crops and the amount 
consumed monthly (demand) by 100 randomly-selected households in selected 
Residential Subdivisions in Buhangin and Talomo, Davao City, the study 
arrived with the result of a minimum of 23.2 square meters, as the amount of 
land/space needed to accommodate the monthly vegetable crop demands of a 
single household. The area of land/space was proposed to be integrated into 
the Residential Subdivision, in both its site and lot zoning and design of its 
housing units and other buildings
