Policy recommendations. 330 $aThis report argues that it is essential to understand the dynamics of the informal food retail sector because of its vital role in ensuring greater access to food by the urban poor. Existing policy frameworks to address food security and to govern the informal sector tend to neglect informal retail in the food system. As a result, the sector is poorly understood. The report therefore attempts to identify the characteristics of the sector that impact on its ability to address the food needs of the neighbourhoods in which the businesses are located. Although the research is focused on Cape Town, the findings are of broader relevance. 410 0$aUrban food security series ;$vno. 24. 606 $aInformal sector (Economics)$zSouth Africa$zCape Town 606 $aFood industry and trade$zSouth Africa$zCape Town 606 $aStreet-food industry$zSouth Africa$zCape Town 615 0$aInformal sector (Economics) 615 0$aFood industry and trade 615 0$aStreet-food industry 676 $a381 700 $aBattersby$b Jane$g(Jane Elizabeth),$f1975-$01552501 702 $aMngqibisa$b Ncedo 702 $aMarshak$b Maya 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792750203321 996 $aMapping the Invisible$93812418 997 $aUNINA
