Urban food security systems in Dakar, Senegal have been under study for their effectiveness in addressing local agricultural needs and improving community well-being. Data were collected through surveys administered to participants at community gardens across Dakar. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews provided comprehensive insights into the adoption trends and factors influencing garden participation. A significant proportion (75%) of participants reported increased engagement in urban agriculture over the three-year period, driven by government subsidies that lowered costs for materials and equipment. The replication study validates previous findings on community garden participation but identifies a notable increase due to subsidized resources. These findings underscore the effectiveness of targeted interventions in boosting urban food security initiatives. Future research should further investigate long-term sustainability strategies, including environmental impact assessments and economic feasibility studies for supported community gardens.
