dc.description.abstractThe Hungry Cities Food Purchases Matrix (HCFPM) has been developed for contextualizing household food sourcing behaviour within the urban food system. This paper discusses the administration of the HCFPM in a 2014 household survey of Maputo (Mozambique) and illustrates how it can provide unique insights into the interactions between households and the broader character and geography of the food system. Food insecurity is increasingly conceptualized as the outcome of the operation of the food system as a whole. The HCFPM also provides insights into the roles that spatial location and convenient access play in the functioning of an urban food system.en
