| Sumario: | If we live in a city, every day we have food on our plate that comes from the whole world. There have been recent transformations in urban food consumption, in its socio-cultural and political context, as well as its consequences on public health, the environment and relations between the countryside (the space which provides natural resources for the city) and the city (consumer space). In 2014, over 54% of the world’s population lived in urban areas, and cities have grown in population, area and number, with most of this growth being located in the Global South. Urban expansion and urbanization and the rurbanization of rural communities have transformed the notions of countryside and city and have produced hybrid forms, which involve interactions between these spaces and affect land use, food and energy production, access to diet and their patterns of consumption.
