As Africa urbanises and the focus of poverty shifts to urban
centres, there is an imperative to address poverty in African
cities. This is particularly the case in smaller cities, which are
often the most rapidly urbanising, but the least able to cope with
this growth. This book argues that an examination of the food
system and food security provides a valuable lens to interrogate
urban poverty. Chapters examine the linkages between poverty, urban
food systems and local governance with a focus on case studies from
three smaller or secondary cities in Africa: Kisumu (Kenya), Kitwe
(Zambia) and Epworth (Zimbabwe). The book makes a wider
contribution to debates on urban studies and urban governance in
Africa through analysis of the causes and consequences of the
paucity of urban-scale data for decision makers, and by presenting
potential methodological innovations to address this paucity. As
the global development agenda is increasingly focusing on urban
issues, most notably the urban goal of the new Sustainable
Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda, the work is timely. The
