Drechsel, PayKarg, H.Appoh, Richard K.Akoto-Danso, Edmund K.[Resilience of urban food supply in West Africa]Resilience of urban food supply in West Africa

In response to changing urban food systems, short supply chains have been advocated to meet urban food needs while building more sustainable urban food systems. Despite an increasing interest in urban food supply and the flows of food from production to consumption, there is a lack of empirical s...

Thirsty and hungry cities are posing significant challenges for the urban-rural interface ranging from food security to inter-sectoral water allocation. Not only is the supply of resources to urban centres a growing challenge in low-income countries, but even more is the urban return flow, as inv...

Semasinghe, C.Benders, J.Vairavamoorthy, VisakanFernando, SudarshanaDrechsel, Pay[Vulnerability and resilience of the Colombo urban food system to extreme weather]Vulnerability and resilience of the Colombo urban food system to extreme weather

Recent studies have examined the urban metabolism of cities using urban consumption as a proxy for food inflows but very few studies have aimed at quantifying the role of cities as trade hubs and nutrient sinks of their hinterlands. We therefore examined the linkages between food and animal feed ...


Karg, H.Akoto-Danso, Edmund K.Drechsel, PayAbubakari, A.-H.Buerkert, Andreas[Food- and feed-based nutrient flows in two West African cities]Food- and feed-based nutrient flows in two West African cities

Rapid urban growth in sub-Saharan Africa challenges food supply of cities. As food and other organic matter are transported from production areas to consumption points, water, which has been used for their production, is transported virtually. This study aimed at determining the magnitude and sou...
