The challenges posed by risk factors in the urban agricultural sector have been an issue of
general concern among various stakeholders and the international communities. This concern is
attributable to the negative impacts of food insecurity risk on urban agriculture and socio-economic
development of South Africa. This study analyzed the food security situation among urban
agricultural households of Limpopo Province using a well-structured questionnaire for data
collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that
male respondents were more in the study area with an average age of 46 years. Public tap water was
the most used source in the study area with an average monthly income of R2668.75 recorded. In
addition, an average of R1284.75 is expended on food on monthly basis by the agricultural
households. Finally, some implications for national food security were drawn from the overall result
of the study. It was suggested among other things that interest-free credit should be made available to
small-scale farmers to enable them to access improved risk (such as health, drought etc.) management
technologies. This will help them to contribute more meaningfully to national food security through
enhanced productivity
