Are the cities of Sub-Saharan Africa so dependent on food imports?
Résumé
Cities are highly dependent on cereals imports
Cereals represent less of the third of the economic value of urban food consumption.
Differences between cities reveal that dependence is not inevitable.
Animal products, pulses, vegetables, fruits, oils, seasonings and beverages represent two third of the urban household food expenditures and provide largely from local or regional production.
Subsistence agriculture turns to commercial food agriculture.
Urban Africa creates its own “food modernity” where local products have largely their own place.
