Within the context of demographic growth, rapid urbanization and rising urban poverty which characterizes much of Sub-Saharan Africa in the 21st Century, this thesis examines the urban poor's vulnerability to food insecurity and analyses the strategies that households adopt to enhance their resilience in this challenging environment. Harare is the study site, providing an acute example of a city (and country) 'in crisis', and a context in which formal food markets have failed to meet the needs of the urban poor, within a generalized collapse of the economy. The central question, then, is how do the urban poor meet their food needs under such conditions of extreme material deprivation? 2015-01-01T12:36:04Z 2015-01-01T12:36:04Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10831 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
