Abstract

Seeing through a food systems lens enables insights into the state of urban development, under-development, marginalization, inclusivity and exclusion in the Hungry Cities Partnership cities. These different and at times intersecting everyday urban conditions have been amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The project reports at the city scale. It considers detailed demographic, food security, informal economy and consumption behaviour for over 10,000 households, 8000 (7977) “informal” enterprises and 3700 informal youth enterprises, covering a combined urban population of 55 million people. This report details the outcomes and outputs of the five-year project, and how these relate to project deliverables.
