Abstract
This chapter is a study that investigates the crucial role of transformational leadership in shaping urban agricultural education and program development. Drawing from well-established research, the chapter highlights how transformational leadership can provide a structured approach to achieving academic excellence and educational equity in urban settings. The chapter underscores that transformational leadership's emphasis on empowerment, ethical behavior, and relationship building makes it ideal for addressing urban agriculture's unique challenges and opportunities. While acknowledging the value of other educational theories and ethical frameworks like virtue ethics, the chapter concludes that the principles of transformational leadership stand out for their ability to enrich urban agricultural education, creating an environment that is not only academically rigorous but also empathetic and socially responsible.
