dc.description.abstract	In spite of its severity, food insecurity in urban areas largely remains invisible to policy makers and planners (see new urban development policy). Awareness of this problem comes to the fore briefly during a food crisis but quickly wanes. Unobserved food insecurity and hunger in urban households is associated with poor health, low productivity, increased crime & truancy amongst the poor with serious and far reaching consequences.	en_US
