dc.descriptionUncontrolled urbanization impairs the efficiency of food supply and distribution systems (FSDSs). The demand for food in the cities is growing and requires quantities of food that rural and periurban areas may not be able to supply. Moreover, existing market, storage and transport infrastructure is less and less able to cope with the growing quantities of foodstuffs. And so the informal sector expands to provide low-income families with their only means of livelihood.
