Hungry Cities: A Critical Review of Urban Food Security Research in Sub‐Saharan African Cities

Urban Farm DB summary

A critical review (Geography Compass, 2013) traces the historical and political trajectory of urban food security research in sub-Saharan Africa, arguing the field has often been narrowly framed as a developmental rather than political problem. It links the rise of urban agriculture as a research and policy focus to the region's experience of structural adjustment, and discusses emerging "repoliticized" research trajectories, concluding these could enable synergies between urban food research in the global North and South.
