Abstract— The present study aimed to present a literature review on animal husbandry experiences in order to identify the feasibility of animal production in urban and periurban agriculture as a food security instrument, observing its limitations and potential. A systematic literature review was carried out on the topic and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology was used to select the articles. From the data analysis, the understanding emerged that animal husbandry in urban and periurban areas has existed for hundreds of years and has always been present in several cities around the world. This practice can represent an inevitable challenge, with positive aspects, such as being an ally of domestic food security and enabling the generation of income and employment, as well as negative aspects, such as the presence of odors, noise and dissemination of zoonoses. Faced with this conflict, as well as the verification of the feasibility of this practice, the importance of public policies capable of organizing the activity, minimizing health risks and possible resulting conflicts is highlighted. I. INTRODUCTION The industrialization process, added to the expansion of cities, were responsible for changes not in the demographic profile, but also in the nutritional quality of life, consumption habits and food production, resulting in significant changes in food sovereignty and security. According to [1] describing a study carried out by the United Nations (UN), in the year 2050 the world population will exceed 9.5 billion people, which represents an approximate growth of 20% in relation to the current number. In this process that is already underway, there is a migration of families to cities, at the same time that urban areas and their economic systems are not able to make all these people economically active, not having adequate conditions to satisfy their economic and culture and quality of life. However, these migrants, even in the face of a change in habits, did not undergo a complete process of erosion of their knowledge and transformation of food habits and still maintain a relationship with nature, plants and animals that continue to be produced or raised in the areas. urban and periurban, bringing up the discussion on this theme [2]. In fact, several international entities and development agencies such as International Development Research
