The Urban Food Systems Community of Practice is a collaboration of the CGIAR Resilient Cities research initiative and World Bank to make cities green, healthy and resilient. As part of activities to mark World Cities Day, Felipe Dizon, Senior Economist, Agriculture, and Food Global Practice, World Bank, and Silvia Alonso, Senior Scientist and Epidemiologist, Animal and Human Health, ILRI, reflect on how connecting the dots between cities, food systems and the climate emergency could help pour the foundations of urban research-for-development efforts.
