{"product_id":"urban-food-systems-governance-and-jane-battersby-9780367587567","title":"Urban Food Systems Governance and Poverty in African Cities","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs 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). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at: http: \/\/www.tandfebooks.com\/doi\/view\/10.4324\/9781315191195, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Battersby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367587564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367587567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Jane Battersby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799012651263,"sku":"9780367587567","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-food-systems-governance-and-jane-battersby-9780367587567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
