Such an enjoyable two days...So many lessons learnt and experiences shared.. #UrbanFoodFutures #RightToFood

And its a wrap! After an intensive two-days #UrbanFoodFutures policy event issues an open invitation to County, community, & support organizations to continue to engage to strengthen the visibility, dignity and agency of the informal sector in driving #foodsystem transformation.

Some takeaways on pathways to food system transformation from closing session of #UrbanFoodFutures policy event (i) Linking existing local food security initiatives can be a first step towards multi-dimensional urban nutrition hubs to foster resilience to crises over time.

"There's a difference between public participation and effective public participation." Calls for a "Mukuru solution" when crafting County school-feeding programme to create space for community kitchens for food security and local livelihoods. #UrbanFoodFutures #047County

Interesting conversation about how to connect the dots in food systems governance. Cape Town did not attempt to craft an overarching strategy, but identify "where food sits" across more than 40 departmental silos. #UrbanFoodFutures @garethhaysom

As we reflect on pathways to #foodsystem transformation, what are the "rules of the road"? Can we manage conflicting rationalities to build a cohesive and safe mosaic of road users? @GarethHaysom of @UrbanAfricaACC calls for a nuanced view of informality. #UrbanFoodFutures

As we discuss issues of urban food futures and school feeding programme in Nairobi,we have to note that 60% of Nairobi population lives in informal settlements:Mukuru, for example,has 143 informal schools against six state-funded schools.@047County, @TMG_think. #UrbanFoodFutures

The #UrbanFoodFutures by @TMG_think is here: "The poor can not sleep because of hunger..the rich can't sleep because the poor are awake." Urban inequality remains the biggest challenge to food and nutrition security in Kenya. Transformation takes us all. #InvestInFoodSecurity

Reporting live from the #urbanfoodfutures Policy event in Nairobi. The argument is towards positioning the informal sector to realise the right to #food. This is the first half of Day 1. @TMG_think @UrbanAfricaACC @Wanavijiji_sdi #fact #foodjustice #foodfutures #Nairobi
