Resumen
Descripción
Ensuring adequate food for people is one
of the most fundamental responsibilities of national
governments. Historically, governments have invested
considerable resources in increasing production of staple
foodstuffs to meet national food demands with a focus on the
rural farmer. However, the way we live today reveals how the
food system affects nutrition and health, livelihoods and
jobs and the sustainability of the planet. Changing diets,
technology, urbanization, and climate change are shifting
how national governments address the food system. Pandemics
like Coronavirus (COVID-19) are forcing nations to face food
system issues in all their dimensions. This report presents
insights and emerging lessons on food systems governance
from the experience of nine cities that have developed urban
food interventions.
