dc.description.abstractCGIAR, the world’s largest global agricultural research network, has traditionally focused on rural areas. But now cities are attracting its gaze. There are two compelling reasons for this shift. First, urban dwellers in Africa often have higher rates of malnutrition than their rural counterparts and, second, urban centres are large consumers of food produced in rural areas and in the process are altering the producing areas, sometimes beyond recognition.en_US
