urban food security

Urban food security refers to the ability of city residents to access enough safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and preferences. It encompasses various factors, including availability, affordability, and access to food, as urban areas often face challenges like high living costs, limited space for agriculture, and food distribution inefficiencies. Ensuring urban food security also involves addressing social inequalities, supporting local food systems, and promoting sustainable practices to provide reliable food sources for growing urban populations. By doing so, cities can enhance the well-being and resilience of their communities.
