dc.description.abstractThe paper argues it is essential to view both the formal and informal sectors as part of the same food system, and to generate policy and planning responses that acknowledge both in their roles in meeting local food security needs. The informal food retail sector is diverse in terms of products traded as well as the business models utilized. The paper attempts to identify the characteristics impacting the informal sector’s ability to address food needs of neighbourhoods where businesses are located. The retail model practised by the informal sector makes food more accessible to those most vulnerable to food insecurity.en
