Urban Food Systems

Urban food systems refer to the complex network of food production, distribution, and consumption within cities. They encompass local farms, community gardens, markets, restaurants, and food policies that impact access to fresh and nutritious food. These systems aim to address urban challenges like food insecurity, sustainability, and waste management by promoting local food sources and reducing reliance on distant suppliers. By integrating various stakeholders, including farmers, consumers, and policymakers, urban food systems can enhance food security and contribute to healthier urban environments.
