The report explains why urban food systems and their governance merit policy attention, clarifies key concepts and the methodology used, and presents findings across multiple governance models. It details city-led, nationally influenced, and hybrid approaches, highlights common procedural and content elements, compares differences, and draws conclusions through planning, finance, and city case study annexes.","| Public Disclosure Authorized\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> |\n| --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disc losure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>URBAN FOOD SYSTEMS GOVERNANCE CURRENT CONTEXT AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES\u003Cbr>FAO INVESTMENT CENTRE\u003Cbr>DIRECTIONS\u003Cbr>IN INVESTMENT |\n\n©Unsplash/Markus Spiske  \n©Unsplash/Craig Whitehead  \nURBAN FOOD SYSTEMS GOVERNANCE CURRENT CONTEXT AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES  \nJames Tefft  \nMarketa Jonasova  \nFang Zhang & Yixin Zhang  \nThis work is a co-publication of  \nFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and The World Bank Rome, 2020  \nRequired citation:  \nTefft, J., Jonasova, M., Zhang, F. and Zhang, Y. 2020.
