Governing sustainable, climate-resilient, and equitable urban and peri-urban food systems transformations

Each October, the global community focuses on the challenges facing rapidly growing cities and towns, starting with World Habitat Day early in the month and ending with World Cities Day. This year, the themes of "Urban October" were the subject of a side event at the 53rd Plenary Session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) on October 23 in Rome, cohosted by IFPRI and the CGIAR Science Program on Policy Innovations, along with many other global and national partner organizations.
