This survey provides a good baseline understanding of the nature of urban food security in Cape Town. Two general areas of future research can be identified. Firstly, research to understand urban food security needs to begin at the household scale and map household food geographies in order to develop a deeper understanding of the spatial and nonspatial determinants of food insecurity. Secondly, in order to address the policy questions raised, it will be vital to conduct further research into the nature and governance of the city and the impact of this on food security. It would allow analysis to be conducted beyond the neighbourhood scale and for connections between food system and other inequities to be acknowledged.
