Building resilience in city region food systems (CRFS) – the CRFS Assessment and Planning Handbook and Toolkit

Abstract

As the world experiences rapid urbanization, the global urban population is estimated to reach 70 percent by 2050 (UNDESA, 2019). By that time,
an additional 2.5 billion people are expected to call urban areas home, with the majority of this growth unfolding in Africa and Asia (UNDESA,
2019).
