Forum global sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition (Forum FSN)
We the SHARECITY research team would hereby like to submit a contribution to the V.0 draft.
We acknowledge and commend the present sections on the right to food and food sovereignty in the V.0 draft. However, with half of the population currently living in cities and this figure expected to increase to 68% in 2050 (UN 2018), we would like to suggest that more attention to the urban food system is paid in the document; in particular to the potential role of using ICT to mediate urban food sharing activities and aid cities to move onto more sustainable pathways (Davies et al 2017a; Davies et al., 2017b; Davies and Legg, 2018). As of now, there is a key gap in the coverage of collaborative activities and diversity of practices and innovations around food (food sharing for brevity) in cities worldwide and its impact on the sustainability of urban food systems.
Attached are our comments to the proposed questions as well as evidence-based material and references that we would kindly like to suggest to be included into the draft.
