World Farmers Markets Coalition 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐲
📍Nairobi,

🎯 An important insight—and a genuine paradigm shift—emerged during the conference co-organized by CIHEAM Bari: : “Global challenges must be addressed starting from local territories and communities.” This perspective also emerges from analyses conducted in Africa, under projects funded by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and coordinated by CIHEAM Bari in support of the .

The challenge of calls for a paradigm shift: the co-creation and interconnection of , and local food systems. Today, 330 cities are implementing local food policies through different mechanisms, including farmers’ markets, food districts, short food supply chains and social hubs. But an important question remains: do these tools generate a combined positive impact—economic, environmental, social and cultural—on the territories where they operate?

🔗In this context, local food systems can become spaces for , co-design and participatory —creating the conditions to transform themselves.

🔎As 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐳𝐳𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 from CIHEAM Bari, emphasizes, however, local food systems must generate a positive impact on their territories, enhancing social, economic, cultural and environmental value across the different stages of production, processing, distribution and consumption.

Global food security also depends on the ability of territories to govern their own food systems. Because a more equitable and resilient world is, first and foremost, a world made of places.

What does it take to build a food-secure city?

At the WorldFMC Fourth General Assembly in Nairobi, cities and international organisations came together for the CIHEAM Bari sponsored session “The Role of Local Food Systems in Ensuring Food Security - City Experiences and Models of Local Territorial Development.”

Moderated by Massimo Zaurrini, the session brought together Damiano Petruzzella (CIHEAM Bari), Gladwell Cheruiyot (Nairobi City County) and Grace Githiri (UN-Habitat), alongside local government representatives from Cagliari, Brazzaville, Kisumu and beyond.

The conversation then moved to concrete territorial experiences, with contributions from Isabella Ligia, Metropolitan City of Cagliari, Jacorcel Obabaka, Municipality of Brazzaville, Genci Kojdheli, Director General for Integration, Strategic Planning and Economic Development and Mathew Owili, Deputy Governor of Kisumu County.

Across very different contexts, one message emerged clearly: local food systems are not simply about producing and consuming food locally. They are about how territories organise, connect and create value together.

The discussion explored how local food systems can help strengthen food security, connect urban and rural areas, support local producers and markets, and create lasting economic, social and environmental value.

The experiences from Cagliari, Brazzaville, Nairobi and Kisumu showed that while every territory is different, cities can learn from one another and build stronger food systems through collaboration and exchange.

The session also contributed to the UN Food Systems Summit +6 process, connecting local experiences to the global food-systems agenda.

For WorldFMC, this is at the heart of our work: connecting places, people and experiences so that local solutions can contribute to global change.

Because food security is built not only at the global level, but also in cities, in rural communities, in farmers markets, and in the connections between them.
