Brazil's "Alimenta Cidades" (Feeding Cities) strategy demonstrates how urban centers can transform agrifood systems. This initiative integrates food security, climate action, biodiversity, and social equity through coordinated government efforts and strong civil society engagement, highlighting the importance of policy alignment from the municipal level.

Through the voices of policymakers and community leaders, the strategy showcases how coordinated, cross-sector action improves access to healthy food, supports family farming, strengthens communities, and addresses food deserts in Brazil's largest cities. This approach emphasizes policy coherence and integrated public policies to reduce hunger, promote sustainability, and ensure no one is left behind.
