Urban Food Systems Governance and Poverty in African Cities: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Urban Food Systems Governance and Poverty in African Cities" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

As Africa urbanises and the focus of poverty shifts to urban centres, there is an imperative to address poverty in African cities. This is particularly the case in smaller cities, which are often the most rapidly urbanising, but the least able to cope with this growth. This book argues that an examination of the food system and food security provides a valuable lens to interrogate urban poverty. Chapters examine the linkages between poverty, urban food systems and local governance with a focus on case studies from three smaller or secondary cities in Africa: Kisumu (Kenya), Kitwe (Zambia) and Epworth (Zimbabwe).The book makes a wider contribution to debates on urban studies and urban governance in Africa through analysis of the causes and consequences of the paucity of urban-scale data for decision makers, and by presenting potential methodological innovations to address this paucity. As the global development agenda is increasingly focusing on urban issues, most notably the urban goal of the new Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda, the work is timely.The Open Access version of this book, available at: http: //www.tandfebooks.com/doi/view/10.4324/..., has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Urban Food Systems Governance and Poverty in African Cities
As Africa urbanises and the focus of poverty shifts to urban centres, there is an imperative to address poverty in African cities. This is particularly the case in smaller cities, which are often the most rapidly urbanising, but the least able to cope with this growth. This book argues that an examination of the food system and food security provides a valuable lens to interrogate urban poverty. Chapters examine the linkages between poverty, urban food systems and local governance with a focus on case studies from three smaller or secondary cities in Africa: Kisumu (Kenya), Kitwe (Zambia) and Epworth (Zimbabwe).
The book makes a wider contribution to debates on urban studies and urban governance in Africa through analysis of the causes and consequences of the paucity of urban-scale data for decision makers, and by presenting potential methodological innovations to address this paucity. As the global development agenda is increasingly focusing on urban issues, most notably the urban goal of the new Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda, the work is timely.

This book presents the findings of an international collaborative research project that aimed to improve our understanding of the connections between urban poverty, food systems, household food security and governance, by focusing on three secondary cities in Anglophone sub-Saharan Africa.
On the whole, colonial governments sought to prevent people from moving into urban areas, not least because of the potentially politically destabilising effects of population concentrations. Where urban workers were needed, the colonial powers developed urban policies and governance systems that were strongly influenced by European ideas about well-planned towns and cities and public health concerns but disenfranchised urban residents. In these contexts, colonial governments did indeed pay attention to food, through measures that sought to ensure a supply of cheap food for wage workers (a continuing priority for post-independence governments). The reality of increasing ruralurban migration and governance arrangements that were incapable of keeping pace with the demands of low-income urban growth were soon clear, but governments were reluctant to admit the shortcomings of their own policies and urban management systems.
