Urbanization and the transformation of agriculture, food systems, and rural spaces present challenges and opportunities for inclusive growth, poverty eradication, economic, environmental and social sustainability, and food security and nutrition. As a result, there is an increasing focus on rural-urban linkages and approaches which can address these issues in a holistic and integrated manner. This online consultation invited contributions to a background document being prepared for the discussions at the Forum on Urbanization, Rural Transformation and Implications for Food Security in October 2016.
