I am unable to insert the Mekong Institute as the publisher of the document. The system does not allow me to select the Mekong Institute and proceed to submit the record. Therefore I had to select FAO as the publisher in order to at least submit the record. Many thanks for your understanding of this technical issue that does not allow me to submit the record with the correct publisher. The file itself contains the correct publisher.

    Today, about 55 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68 percent by 2050. The majority of this growth will be in Africa and Southeast Asia. The rapid urbanization and the estimated nine-billion world population by 2050 creates enormous challenges to conventional food production and food and nutrition security. At the same time, climate change is posing additional challenges, affecting cities and their surrounding areas. The number of reported natural hazards (such as droughts, floods, storms, etc.) has almost doubled in the last two decades. An increase in climate change related risks is affecting processes and stakeholders along the entire food system. Increasing food prices resulting from disruptions in production and transport directly impact consumers, especially low-income groups in city regions that are highly dependent on purchased food. Cities are requesting support to plan interventions to make food systems more sustainable, inclusive and resilient to natural shocks, with strong rural-urban linkages, including and emphasizing the role of small-scale farmers, to scale up sustainable practices and improve the food system in a holistic manner. Against this background, the city region food systems (CRFS) programme was established. The programme has been demonstrating its effectiveness in strengthening rural-urban linkages and integrating sectors for a more sustainable and resilient food system. The need now is to combine the assessment work based on past and present data with future scenarios on climate change impact in the city region contexts.
