Food Consumption, Urbanisation and Rural Transformation. Workshop report, London

In 2014 IIED launched the project Food transitions: sustainable consumption policies across the rural-urban divide aimed at shaping a new narrative, challenging the current understanding of food security and contributing to developing alternative policy options inclusive of the needs and difficulties faced by rural and urban poor. Under this programme of work, a first workshop was held in London in December 2014 in partnership with IFAD and DFID to establish the analytical framework of this analysis. ~Further workshops were held in Dakar, Nairobi and Hanoi (see project page below for more information)
