There are several ways to strengthen urban and peri-urban food systems in the context of urbanization and rural transformation. One way is to promote sustainable urban agriculture, which involves using vacant land in urban areas for food production. This can help to improve food security by reducing transportation costs and increasing the availability of fresh, nutritious food. Another way is to promote local food markets, which can help to connect farmers and consumers and provide an alternative to large-scale, industrial food systems.
Additionally, government policies can be developed to support the development of sustainable and equitable food systems, such as incentives for urban agriculture and regulations to protect local food markets.
