description Urban agriculture means cultivating plants and raising livestock within cities for food and other uses. A Community‐based Urban Agriculture Programme is where people from residential areas get together as volunteers to practise urban agriculture in an empty space within residential areas. However, the programme encounters problems when it is incapable of attracting enough volunteers and retaining them in order to establish a sustainable programme. This study aims to determine the relationship between the dimensions of motivation and satisfaction of volunteers on the Community‐based Urban Agriculture Programme. Data collected from 375 volunteers on the Community‐based Urban Agriculture Programme in Klang Valley, Malaysia were analysed using descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
