Urban Nutrition and Food Systems

Urban Nutrition and Food Systems focus on how food is produced, distributed, and consumed in cities. This concept examines the impact of local food environments on residents' health and well-being. Access to nutritious food, food deserts, cultural food practices, and community resources all shape urban diets. By improving these food systems, cities can enhance public health, reduce dietary-related diseases, and promote sustainability. Ultimately, it’s about creating healthier, more equitable food networks within urban settings to improve the lives of all residents.
