【 摘 要 】

The report is organized into sevenchapters, as follows, with additional text supported by datain the annexes: this first chapter sets out the context forthe report, presents the objectives, outlines themethodology and approach, and briefly introduces the scopeand organization. Chapter two looks at the key drivers andunderlying trends that are already shaping the agenda orwill influence the future of urban food issues. Chapterthree pulls together relevant data and information todescribe the structure and performance of the threeinterrelated channels in urban food system, traditional,modern and informal, the latter catering primarily to theurban poor.Chapter four introduces the transform frameworkof the interlinked food system outcome areas related to jobcreation, affordability and accessibility, security andnutrition, and sustainability and resilience. It alsodiscusses an initial typology of cities based on demographicand food system criteria with which to begin to considerpriority interventions. Chapter five discusses the enablingconditions of the transform framework: Transformativeinstitutions; facilitating and progressive policies; Opendata, knowledge and evidence base; Resources for effectivepublic and private financing; and multistakeholdergovernance mechanisms and capacity. Chapter six examinesfour broad areas of intervention to achieve results in theinterlinked outcome areas: Remunerative jobs and betteragribusinesses; affordability and accessibility for foodsecurity; nutritious, diverse, quality and safe food; andsustainable, resilient agriculture and food systems. Aninitial set of indicative interventions and entry points arepresented for each area, with further refinement andprecision to be determined by analysis and consultation insubsequent phases. Finally, chapter seven synthesizes thesalient findings and proposes a streamlined and succinctapproach for advancing this important agenda, includingpotential instruments and program sequencing, keyinformation and data gaps, and partnership opportunities.
