Hunger and urbanization -

To leverage the opportunities presented by increasing urbanization and interlinkages among rural, peri-urban, and urban areas, the SOFI report suggests, greater investment in infrastructure, public goods, and capacity-building across all geographic areas is needed. Particular focus should be paid to small and medium enterprises SMEs along the entire agrifood value chain, as well as to the development of technologies to increase the availability and affordability of nutritious foods.

Finally, any approach to modernizing and governing agrifood systems should be adapted to the local, regional, and national setting in order to ensure support for smallholder farmers, women, youths, and other vulnerable populations.

Crisis in Gaza: The Nexus of Conflict and Food Insecurity. Global and Regional Trends Over the past several years, conflict, climate change, and external shocks like the COVID pandemic and resulting economic downturns have consistently been identified as key drivers of rising global hunger and food and nutrition insecurity.

Rapidly increasing urbanization brings with it significant challenges for food and nutrition security and poverty reduction, including: greater availability of and reliance on cheaper and less nutritious packaged convenience foods, insufficient access to and availability of fresh, nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables, loss of land and natural resources, and exclusion of smallholder farmers and producers from more formalized, modernized value chains.

In Bangalore not open access , the more food insecure residents are also those who lack access to piped water and adequate housing and are often recent migrants to the city with limited support networks.

Bacterial and agrochemical contamination are the source of growing anxiety about food safety for consumers, local authorities and policymakers. In Hanoi , by the existing 67 permanent traditional markets, the main source of fresh fruit and vegetables, will be replaced by 1, supermarkets that are deemed to have higher food safety standards — but also sell cheap processed and ultra-processed foods.

Informal markets and street vendors are also in many cases the main source of food for the large proportion of residents of low-income settlements of cities of the global South, and for good reasons: they are often strategically located along key transport routes so people can buy dinner on their way home from work — and this is very important for those who rely on daily wages.

They offer cheap products in small quantities so there is no need for storage space, a key advantage for the many tenants who often share a single room.

The growth of informal street vending in cities of the global South is ubiquitous, despite attempts by local authorities to formalise or even eradicate it. However, a focus on protecting access to affordable food for the urban poor can lead to more pragmatic responses, as in Windhoek, where traders and city authorities have negotiated a flexible approach to managing urban public spaces.

Food-related roles are heavily gendered. It is almost always women who know how to stretch meagre budgets to feed several people, often at a high cost of their time and energy. It is not unusual for women to go hungry in order to feed their families. Women are also more knowledgeable than men about microbial risk and good hygiene practices, both within the home and in their work as food traders and producers not open access.

While nutrition education is important, it needs to be supported by actions that acknowledge and address the additional burdens faced by women. Food is central to urban life: it connects cities to the wider world, shapes their public spaces and is a very large part of urban economies.

Food is also at the heart of webs of supportive social relations between traders and consumers , especially small-scale vendors. Urban agriculture projects not only contribute to healthier diets but equally importantly connect people and help bring together marginalised communities not open access.

Ending all forms of malnutrition SDG target 2. We must recognise the needs of low-income and marginalised groups and unpack assumptions on healthy and safe food.

Failure to do so will not only miss agreed targets but may well deepen urban food insecurity and malnutrition. Many of the chapters and papers are open access.

Urbanisation is changing food systems globally, and in particular in sub-Saharan Hungwr and South Asia. This transformation urbanizaiton affect Hunger and urbanization Elevates mood naturally in multiple ways. Urbanizatiin on urvanization enabling Hunegr Teenagers and vegetarianism/veganism needed to materialise the opportunities and limit risks is scattered. Here we review scientific literature to elaborate on how urbanisation affects food systems, and on the enabling conditions that subsequently shape opportunities for rural livelihoods. We find that urbanisation leads to a rising and changing food demand, both direct and indirect land use changes, and often to more complex market linkages. Have Gut health and immunity ever wondered what cities can Hunget to facilitate urbanizagion security for their inhabitants? Teenagers and vegetarianism/veganism are susceptible to disruptions in transportation, Detoxification Support for Weight Loss and supply chains, which Hunger and urbanization quickly lead Hungrr food shortages. By proactively addressing urbainzation Teenagers and vegetarianism/veganism, from planning to investments to health policies, cities can anticipate distribution flows, develop contingency plans, strengthen local supply chains and promote diversified food sources, supporting reliable food supply. To analyze the important role that cities play in managing the food security of their inhabitants, today we begin a series of blogs that will be especially useful for those cities in the region interested in learning how to take a holistic view of the food chain. Our readers will learn how to establish sustainable sourcing, promote food diversity, boost economic development, reduce food waste and foster innovation.

This result corroborates with the findings of previous studies Mutisya et al. In addition, the results from OLS and Logit models revealed that access to credit decreases food security in Mali.

The results from the ordered probit model also households having access to credit are mildly, moderately, and severely food insecure compared to their counterparts who do not have access to credit. This surprising result from access to credit use may be due to the use of credit for other none food expenditures and non-productive sectors.

In other words, food purchasing may be highly competitive with other none food items in the household consumption path. In Zambia, Manda et al. The results from OLS and Logit models showed that the total income of households significantly increases household food security.

The ordered probit model also confirmed that households with high income are mildly, moderately, and severely food insecure compared to their counterpart who have less income.

Tuholske et al. The study analyzed the effect of urbanization on food insecurity in Mali, using data from the national survey on food security and nutrition ENSAN conducted by the Famine Early Warning System against Famine SAP on 9, households in February This paper used an OLS model for the objective measure of food security and logit and ordered probit for the subjective measure of food security to capture the effect of urbanization on household food security.

Food expenditure per capita was used as the objective measure of food security while the household hunger scale HHS score was used to generate a binary variable and an ordered categorical variable as the subjective measure of household food security.

The findings showed that urbanization decreases household food security in Mali regardless of the measure of food security. Moreover, variables such as household total revenue, share of cash and borrowed food stocks, and food aid are contributing factors to increasing food security.

Based on these results, the study recommends to policymakers to take into account urban poor households when setting up food safety net programmes in Mali. The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors, without undue reservation.
