This study is a review of the Food Resilience Policy in Region D, this study used food security policy frameworks and relevant primary and secondary data to examine the effectiveness of the food resilience interventions in Johannesburg. The study utilised qualitative research methods. Data were collected by the researcher as a participant observer during the policy review session in Region D, Soweto, and a thematic analysis gives insight into key themes adopted to highlight their relevance and effectiveness of the City of Johannesburg Food Resilience Policy. As a participant observer, the researcher made notes and was guided by questions about relevance and effectiveness that assisted with probing, assessing behaviour and recording data. The study concludes with recommendations that are based on the strengthening of relevance and effectiveness in the implementation of the Food Resilience Policy. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Voedselonsekerheid is 'n goot probleem in Suid-Afrika. Die reg op voedsel in Suid-Afrika word in die Grondwet erken en die land het sedert 2014 'n Nasionale Beleid oor Voedsel- en Voedingsekerheid. Voedsel- en voedingsekerheid is 'n groot uitdaging in die Stad van Johannesburg. Beramings dui daarop dat soveel as 42% van arm huishoudings in Johannesburg voedselonseker is. Johannesburg implementeer 'n stedelike landboubeleid as deel van 'n voedselveerkragtigheidstrategie. Hoe vlakke van voedselonsekerheid is die gevolg van swak toegang tot voedsel en die onvermoë om kos te bekostig. Die Munisipaliteit van Johannesburg en die Departement van Maatskaplike Ontwikkeling het in 2013 die Voedselweerbaarheidseenheid geskep om voedselonsekerheid aan te spreek, maar ook om voedselveerkragtigheid aan die Stad van Johannesburg se meer gemarginaliseerde en kwesbare burgers te verskaf. Hierdie studie bied 'n lessenaaroorsig van navorsingsuitkomste en 'n openbare beleidsoorsig wat deur die voedselveerkragtigheidseenheid in streek D, Soweto, uitgevoer word. Hierdie studie sal uit huidige voedselsekerheidsbeleidsraamwerke put wat direk aan voedselveerkragtigheid in die Stad Johannesburg gekoppel is en dit gebruik om belyning met die implementering van voedselveerkragtigheidsprogramme in plaaslike gemeenskappe te oorweeg. Die studie word afgesluit met aanbevelings vir die implementering van die voedselveerkragtigheidsbeleid en -programme in die Stad Johannesburg.
