Re: Strengthening urban and peri-urban food systems to achieve food security and nutrition in the context of urbanization and rural transformation – V0 draft of the HLPE-FSN report #19

The V0 draft introduces a conceptual framework informed by key principles established in previous HLPE-FSN reports (HLPE, 2017; HLPE, 2020).

Do you find the proposed framework effective to highlight and discuss the key issues concerning urban and peri-urban food systems?

The use of established principles from previous reports in the conceptual framework is a promising approach. However, the effectiveness of the framework in highlighting and discussing key issues concerning urban and peri-urban food systems depends on its ability to comprehensively address the specific challenges, dynamics, and interactions within these systems. Reviewing how well it covers aspects like urban agriculture, food distribution, access, and sustainability will determine its effectiveness in addressing these crucial issues.
