dc.description.abstractThis audit of the city of Kingston shows significant information gaps in understanding the urban food system. Kingston’s population is fed by a combination of food imports and domestic production from agricultural areas across the island. Some key food staples are imported, including rice and flour. A recent study of informality in Jamaica argued that enterprises remain informal because of the high cost of doing business as a formal establishment. The report provides a broad outline of food-related issues while providing context of Kingston’s background demographic history and evolution as a city.en
