• Full report

This paper interrogates the data collected in the UFSBS for these three cities in relation to these broad questions that are emerging around the issue of urban food (in) security, and suggests areas of purposeful focus for policy attention.

The paper first provides a brief discussion of the urbanisation and economic growth dynamics which frame the urban food security debate, and which demonstrate why food security will be increasingly important for South Africa in the coming decades. Following on from this is an outline of the methodology used by the survey in its data collection. The paper then turns to the analysis, highlighting key policy issues as they arise at both the city and national scales.
