Urban Food Insecurity (D + C = Development + Cooperation)

October 31, 2019


D + C = Development + Cooperation (Germany) reported that urban poverty tends to be underestimated. IFPRI found that in Kenya, urban areas have higher income inequality than rural areas, and that 1.3 million rural Kenyans and up to 4 million urban Kenyans were food insecure in 2008. Similar statistics are found in other African cities.
