| Summary: | The report is organized into seven
chapters, as follows, with additional text supported by data
in the annexes: this first chapter sets out the context for
the report, presents the objectives, outlines the
methodology and approach, and briefly introduces the scope
and organization. Chapter two looks at the key drivers and
underlying trends that are already shaping the agenda or
will influence the future of urban food issues. Chapter
three pulls together relevant data and information to
describe the structure and performance of the three
interrelated channels in urban food system, traditional,
modern and informal, the latter catering primarily to the
urban poor. Chapter four introduces the transform framework
of the interlinked food system outcome areas related to job
creation, affordability and accessibility, security and
nutrition, and sustainability and resilience. It also
discusses an initial typology of cities based on demographic
and food system criteria with which to begin to consider
priority interventions. Chapter five discusses the enabling
conditions of the transform framework: Transformative
institutions; facilitating and progressive policies; Open
data, knowledge and evidence base; Resources for effective
public and private financing; and multistakeholder
governance mechanisms and capacity. Chapter six examines
four broad areas of intervention to achieve results in the
interlinked outcome areas: Remunerative jobs and better
agribusinesses; affordability and accessibility for food
security; nutritious, diverse, quality and safe food; and
sustainable, resilient agriculture and food systems. An
initial set of indicative interventions and entry points are
presented for each area, with further refinement and
precision to be determined by analysis and consultation in
subsequent phases. Finally, chapter seven synthesizes the
salient findings and proposes a streamlined and succinct
approach for advancing this important agenda, including
potential instruments and program sequencing, key
information and data gaps, and partnership opportunities. |
