dc.descriptionThis project addressed the critical need to rethink and strengthen food supply chains in urban areas, particularly in the context of pandemics such as COVID-19. The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in food systems, highlighting issues related to food safety, supply chain disruptions, and the need for policy adjustments to ensure food access for urban residents, especially the poor and vulnerable. It underscored the importance of urban food governance and policy coordination to address interconnected challenges such as food security, nutrition, health and sustainable urban development. In many Asian countries, there is a growing recognition of the importance of urban agriculture, local food production, and shorter food value chains to ensure food access and nutrition for urban populations. Governments play a critical role in promoting these initiatives through policies that regulate and incentivize local food production, including urban gardening, and integrate them into urban planning. This approach is seen as essential to building more resilient food systems that can withstand future pandemics and natural disasters.
