This document discusses sustainable food governance and the role of cities. It notes that while feeding cities sustainably is a major 21st century challenge, the food system is still overlooked in planning. Several approaches are presented: civil society and government collaborating; linking food and other policies around health and environment; and creating stakeholder dialogue to influence plans. Examples show strategic leadership around procurement, funding, and partnerships. The role of food policy councils is outlined as validating, influencing, connecting and creating visibility for sustainable food. Working collectively, cities could transform urban food systems and move from "Petropolis" to "Agropolis". The most important considerations are learning from relevant experiences, prioritizing needed changes, and finding enthusiastic partners.
