Linked by Michael Levenston

Assessment of the urban or city region food system is an important basis for improved and evidence-based policy-making and planning for more sustainable and resilient food systems.

In the past year, we have seen the development of various assessment and indicator frameworks to help cities to map the current status and performance of their city region food system. With this magazine, we like to explore how such assessment frameworks have concretely supported planning and policy, and have enabled cities to measure and monitor changes in relation to food strategies and action plans.
