In response to these disruptions, FAO has conducted a comprehensive global study that targets all food system stakeholders, including local governments.For this study, in-depth case studies were conducted in 11 cities across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America to provide detailed insights into how food system actors respond to multiple shocks and stresses. Through interviews and focus groups, the case studies capture diverse perspectives and explore the complexities of building resilience in specific contexts. This publication highlights the unique approach of resilience-building efforts in Lusaka, Zambia.

    With over 50 percent of the world’s population living in urban areas – a figure set to rise to 70 percent by 2050 – conventional food production and supply face enormous challenges. The food and nutrition security of poor urban populations remains at risk as a consequence of the lack of economic access to healthy and nutritious food, the volatility and rapid increase in food prices and disruptions to the food supply caused by natural disasters and climate change effects. Ensuring the availability and affordability of sufficient, high-quality, appropriate, safe and healthy food for a growing urban population requires better understanding and planning of the city food system. In this context, there was significant demand for greater understanding and operationalization of the concept of City Region Food Systems, which can form a basis for further planning, informed decision-making and the design of sustainable food policies and strategies that might improve local production and marketing.
