What is happening in Namibia and other Southern African countries that make supermarkets so much more accessible to the urban poor? What are they buying at supermarkets and how frequently do they shop there? Further, what is the impact of supermarket expansion on informal food vendors? This report, which presents the findings from the South African Supermarkets in Growing African Cities project research in 2016-2017 in Windhoek, looks at the evidence and tries to answer these questions and others. The research and policy debate on the relationship between the supermarket revolution and food security is also discussed. Here, the issues include whether supermarket supply chains and procurement practices mitigate rural food insecurity through providing new market opportunities for smallholder farmers; the impact of supermarkets on the food security and consumption patterns of residents of African cities; and the relationship between supermarket expansion and governance of the food system, particularly at the local level."--Cover, page 4. 650 0 $a Grocery trade $z Windhoek. $z Windhoek. 650 0 $a Food security $z Windhoek. $z Windhoek. 650 0 $a Supermarkets $z Windhoek. $z Windhoek. 650 0 $a Urban poor $z Windhoek. $z Windhoek. 650 0 $a Low-income consumers $z Windhoek. $z Windhoek. 650 0 $a Grocery shopping $z Windhoek. $z Windhoek. 700 1 $a Kasembe, Lawrence, $e author. 700 1 $a Crush, Jonathan, $d 1953- $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79049481 700 1 $a Wagner, Jeremy, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011145891 830 0 $a Urban food security series ; $v no. 26. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017080396 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116040053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B90B277A840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
