Abstract
As the world becomes increasingly urban, food demand will come mainly from people living in cities while there
will be fewer rural farmers producing food on less land with less water. Cities can play a bigger role in food
security. But to accomplish this requires new thinking and new policies by policy makers and politicians, and
new technologies from R&D by scientists.
