The aim of this book is to promote discourse and facilitate adaptation in the face of increasing urbanization and rising poverty levels by considering the impact of climate change on asset accumulation and food security for the urban poor, who are the people most vulnerable to this threat.

Recenzje

"… the book lays the groundwork for much-needed discussion on this issue. This type of discussion, as aptly illustrated in the book, needs to happen at multiple levels: between the state (national, regional and local levels) and citizenry, between countries and between individuals at a community level. The authors and editors have made a valuable contribution to the growing body of work on urban food security and have elevated the discourse on climate change, urbanisation and food security to a more secure footing." – Stefanie Swanepoel, Urban Africa
