Synopsis (short abstract) Over the last decade, Curitiba City Hall has developed three programmes to ensure healthy food access for people in need. The City improved the access of low-income population to diverse, fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables through 1) stores selling subsidized products; 2) sale outlets where farmers sold their products at discounted prices; 3) family farmers’ cooperatives fairs offering the same advantage of discounted prices.

    Territorial markets: facilitating access to healthy diets 2022

    Markets are at the core of food systems. As the interface between production and consumption, their improvement is therefore critical to ensuring more sustainable food systems, and facilitating access to healthy and diversified diets. Markets that are embedded in territorial food systems, or territorial markets, represent key retail outlets for consumer access to food – especially fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and meat, and staple foods. For consumers in developing countries in particular, territorial markets, both formal and informal, are the main point of access for these and other foods – not only in rural areas but also in urban settlements. Despite their importance however, data on territorial markets – such as the availability of food groups, food retailers and consumer profiles – are rarely included in national data collection systems; as a result, these markets are often neglected in development strategies and policies. This brochure presents the global initiative to map territorial markets, as developed and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
