The urban and suburban animal production in tropical countries is a valid strategy to improve human nutrition, family consumption, income generation, savings and living conditions. Through case studies experiences of breeding animal (pigs, aquaculture, dairy, poultry, rabbits and bees) were reviewed in some cities around the world to help in solving problems of food supply in urban and suburban areas. It should highlight the constraints (political, legal, health and environmental) and intervention strategies to find solutions to problems. It was concluded that the positive experiences from around the world can introduce considerations of sustainability in urban and suburban animal breeding.
