About this ebook
City Food Security explores the critical issue of how to sustainably feed the world's growing urban populations. It examines the vulnerabilities within current city food systems, particularly in the face of climate change and increasing urbanization. The book highlights the necessity of integrating local food production, resilient food supply chains, and equitable food access to ensure a secure food future.
Did you know that most of the world's population lives in cities, making urban centers especially susceptible to disruptions in food supply? The book emphasizes a multi-faceted approach, urging collaborative efforts to tackle these challenges.
The book journeys through urban agriculture's potential, dissects the complexities of food supply chains, and confronts sustainability challenges like food waste and water scarcity. It begins by setting the context of urban food systems, moves to examining the potential and limitations of urban agriculture, then investigates the vulnerabilities of urban food supply chains, and finally confronts the sustainability challenges associated with urban food systems. These challenges include reducing food waste through improved storage and distribution, promoting water-efficient agricultural practices, and transitioning to low-carbon transportation systems.
