This background paper to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 analyses a key element of agrifood systems transformation: the change of patterns in food supply and demand. Several studies have discussed this topic, but the current one takes an innovative perspective of analysis, considering these changes with a spatial perspective using the urban rural catchment areas (URCA) approach to analyse changes in food expenditure across the rural–urban continuum, using Living Standards Measurement Studies (LSMS) of 11 African countries. The analysis is preceded by a literature review of agrifood value chains transformation stages, drivers and current situation, focused in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and is followed by a macro review of food supply around the world and a “macro-meso” review of the supply of wheat and rice in two African countries. The conclusions shows that most food is purchased in all households across the rural–urban continuum, even in rural areas, breaking with the “myth” of rural subsistence farming in Africa. In addition, the results show a diffusion of the consumption of processed foods, including in a lesser extent highly processed foods, all across the rural–urban continuum, and not only in rural areas. From a food supply perspective, the low global availability of foods that are part of a healthy diet, as fruits, vegetables and legumes, nuts and seeds calls for increasing efforts for producing more nutritious foods in all countries of the world.

This background paper to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 discusses the dynamics and drivers of urbanization, the associated changes in agrifood systems and the corresponding risks and opportunities to ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for all. The paper is based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence from scientific papers and informed by new analyses conducted for the 2023 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. A conceptual framework is presented for understanding the different pathways through which urbanization is driving changes in agrifood systems across the rural–urban continuum, and is, in turn, affecting access to affordable healthy diets.

This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.

This background paper to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 presents an innovative analysis of within-country variability of the cost and affordability of a healthy diet (CoAHD). The study uses an innovative spatial perspective by analysing the changes along the urban–rural catchment areas (URCA) and using the Living Standards Measurement Studies (LSMS) of 11 African countries. The results show that the cost of a healthy diet in peri-urban areas is lower than it is in urban areas, but the percentage of the population unable to afford a healthy diet is always higher in the surroundings of urban centres. The gap is particularly large between small cities and their surrounding areas, and the share of population unable to secure a healthy diet is disproportionally high in the more remote rural areas. The paper also investigates three methodological issues that were encountered during the analysis to provide evidence on the validity of the FAO Healthy Diet Basket (HDB) methodology for the estimation of subnational cost and affordability of a healthy diet.

Despite African consumers under-consuming nutrient dense fruits and vegetables (FV) and animal products (AP), and the farm production and supply chains of these products are fraught with constraints that keep them from operating optimally, we find abundant recent evidence of dynamism in these sectors. To wit: (1) consumption of these products in levels and shares is already substantial and growing rapidly; (2) supply of these products is growing rapidly, just not yet much faster than population growth; (3) supply growth is manifested in a number of countries by dynamic “meso booms” with diffusion of farming and growth in midstream ("Hidden Middle") value chain segments; these booms are “grass roots” driven, without subsidy or management by government or NGOs or large companies. We reviewed recent survey-based evidence of these booms and discussed the drivers. The policy implications are the need for governments to invest in the conditions we found to be enabling these booms, that is, roads and wholesale markets and electrification and other infrastructure hard and soft.

The rapid growth of African cities means they have a great challenge in ensuring an adequate supply of food to satisfy their nutritional needs in terms of quantity, variety and taste, at accessible/affordable prices. Food supply and distribution systems (FSDS), whether formal or informal, are a key element. An efficient FSDS can increase the availability of food to the urban consumer, and at the same time increase the revenues of both traders and producers. However, there are a number of constraints that impede the efficiency of FSDS and these are discussed in the papers in this Bulletin that address the whole issue of food supply and food security. They are addressed towards urban managers and planners together with professionals and researchers concerned with urban food security.

Impacts of increasing population pressure on food demand and land and water resources have sparked interest in nutrient and water balances and flows at a range of scales. In IWMI Research Report 115, it was tried for the first time to quantify rural-urban food flows for selected cities in Ghana and Burkina Faso to analyse their dependency on food supplied from rural vs. peri-urban vs. urban farming. Both, the urban nutrient and water footprints are closely interlinked. Currently, 80-95 percent of the domestic water used and the nutrients consumed go to waste without treatment or resource recovery. The economic dimensions are significant. Options to reduce the environmental burden by closing the rural-urban water and nutrient cycles are discussed.

本报告介绍全球在实现可持续发展目标关于消除饥饿（具体目标2.1）和消除一切形式营养不良（具体目标2.2）这两项具体目标方面的最新进展。本报告表明，2021至2022年间，全球饥饿状况保持相对稳定但仍远高于COVID-19疫情暴发前水平，同时很多地区饥饿形势愈演愈烈，人们仍在苦苦弥补疫情造成的收入损失，受到粮食、农业投入品和能源价格上涨、冲突和/或极端气候的深重影响。本报告还提供最新估计数据，介绍无法全年都有营养、安全、充足食物的亿万民众状况。总体而言，本报告表明，世界各国严重进展不足，难以如期实现各项营养具体目标。尽管本报告发现几项重要的儿童营养指标取得进展，但很多国家5岁以下儿童中超重现象日益普遍，非传染性疾病负担可能进一步加重。 很多国家城市化水平不断提升，本报告表明，城市化推动着全球农业粮食体系变革，不能再以简单的城乡二元分割观念看待发生的变革。城乡连续体的人口集聚模式及其作为人类交流和社会经济交往的纽带作用不断演化，与农业粮食体系彼此相互塑造，在影响健康膳食可获得性和可负担性的同时，反过来也对粮食安全和营养产生影响。最新实证表明，在一些国家，除了城市家庭，农村家庭的食物采购支出比例同样颇高。深加工食品也在一些国家城郊和农村地区逐渐普及。以上种种变革无不影响着人们的粮食安全和营养，这类影响又因城乡连续体中人们所在区域而异。

Rapid population growth, poorly planned urbanization, and evolving agricultural production and distribution practices are changing foodways in African cities and creating challenges: Africans are increasingly facing hunger, undernutrition, and malnutrition. Yet change also creates new opportunities. The food economy currently is the main source of jobs on the continent, promising more employment in the near future in farming, food processing, and food product distribution. These opportunities are undermined, however, by inefficient links among farmers, intermediaries, and consumers, leading to the loss of one-third of all food produced. This volume is an in-depth analysis of food system shortcomings in three West African cities: Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Rabat, Morocco; and Niamey, Niger. Using the lens of geographical economics and sociology, the authors draw on quantitative and qualitative field surveys and case studies to offer insightful analyses of political institutions. They show the importance of “hard†? physical infrastructure, such as transport, storage, and wholesale and retail market facilities. They also describe the “soft†? infrastructure of institutions that facilitate trade, such as interpersonal trust, market information systems, and business climates. The authors find that the vague mandates and limited capacities of national trade and agriculture ministries, regional and urban authorities, neighborhood councils, and market cooperatives often hamper policy interventions. This volume comes to a simple conclusion: international development policy makers and their financial and technical partners have neglected urban markets for far too long, and now is the time to rethink and reinvest in this complex yet crucial subject.

Ce rapport fait le point sur les progrès accomplis au niveau mondial en direction des objectifs d’éradication de la faim (cible 2.1 des ODD) et d’élimination de la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes (cible 2.2). Il montre que la faim est demeurée relativement stable au niveau mondial entre 2021 et 2022, mais qu’elle se maintient largement au-dessus du niveau enregistré avant la pandémie de covid-19, et même qu’elle augmente dans de nombreuses régions où les populations n’ont pas encore pu compenser les pertes de revenus occasionnées par la pandémie, ou ont été durement touchées par la flambée des prix des denrées alimentaires, des intrants agricoles et de l’énergie, par des conflits et/ou par des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes. Le rapport donne également des estimations actualisées concernant les milliards de personnes qui n’ont pas accès toute l’année à une alimentation nutritive, sans danger pour la santé et en quantité suffisante. Il fait apparaître que, dans l’ensemble, nous sommes bien mal engagés pour atteindre l’ensemble des cibles liées à la nutrition. Si des progrès sont observés en ce qui concerne d’importants indicateurs de la nutrition infantile, l’augmentation du taux d’excès pondéral constatée chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans dans de nombreux pays laisse présager un accroissement de la charge des maladies non transmissibles. L’urbanisation progresse dans de nombreux pays et ce rapport montre qu’elle modifie les systèmes agroalimentaires d’une façon qu’il n’est plus possible d’appréhender sous l’angle de la simple dichotomie entre milieu rural et milieu urbain. L’évolution des agglomérations tout le long du continuum rural-urbain et la fonction d’interface que celles-ci exercent en tant que lieux d’échange et d’interactions socioéconomiques modifient les systèmes agroalimentaires et sont modifiées par eux, ce qui n’est pas sans conséquences pour la disponibilité et l’accessibilité économique des aliments sains, et donc pour la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition. De nouvelles données indiquent que, dans certains pays, ce ne sont plus seulement les ménages urbains mais aussi les ménages ruraux qui achètent une part élevée des aliments qu’ils consomment. Dans plusieurs pays, la consommation d’aliments hautement transformés augmente également dans les zones périurbaines et les zones rurales. Les effets de ces changements sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition des individus diffèrent selon l’endroit où ceux-ci vivent le long du continuum rural-urbain.
