Handbook on Urban Food Security in the Global South

Edited by Jonathan Crush, Bruce Frayne and Gareth Haysom

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The ways in which the rapid urbanization of the Global South is transforming food systems and food supply chains, and the food security of urban populations is an often neglected topic. This international group of authors addresses this profound transformation from a variety of different perspectives and disciplinary lenses, providing an important corrective to the dominant view that food insecurity is a rural problem requiring increases in agricultural production.
