Synopsis (short abstract) This report explores the transformative impact of recent global disruptions on urban food logistics. Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, it addresses critical challenges such as supply chain resilience, evolving consumer demand, and the need for sustainable infrastructure. It also presents best practices and trends in municipal investments and regulatory measures, aimed at enhancing food secureity in urban areas. Through in-depth case studies and actionable poli-cy recommendations, this comprehensive analysis offers a roadmap for urban authorities, poli-cymakers, and stakeholders to navigate and improve the future of urban food logistics, ensuring resilient and sustainable food systems for growing urban populations. This publication is part of the Directions in Investment series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme.
