What is happening in Namibia and other Southern African countries that make supermarkets so much more accessible to the urban poor? What are they buying at supermarkets and how frequently do they shop there? Further, what is the impact of supermarket expansion on informal food vendors? This report, which presents the findings from the South African Supermarkets in Growing African Cities project research in 2016-2017 in Windhoek, looks at the evidence and tries to answer these questions and others. The research and policy debate on the relationship between the supermarket revolution and food security is also discussed. Here, the issues include whether supermarket supply chains and procurement practices mitigate rural food insecurity through providing new market opportunities for smallholder farmers; the impact of supermarkets on the food security and consumption patterns of residents of African cities; and the relationship between supermarket expansion and governance of the food system, particularly at the local level. 410 0$aUrban food security series ;$v26. 606 $aUrban poor$zNamibia$zWindhoek 606 $aLow-income consumers$zNamibia$zWindhoek 606 $aFood security$zNamibia$zWindhoek 606 $aSupermarkets$zNamibia$zWindhoek 606 $aGrocery shopping$zNamibia$zWindhoek 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aLow-income consumers 615 0$aFood security 615 0$aSupermarkets 615 0$aGrocery shopping 676 $a363.8 700 $aNickanor$b Ndeyapo M.$01529636 702 $aWagner$b Jeremy$c(Political scientist), 702 $aCrush$b Jonathan$f1953- 702 $aKazembe$b Lawrence 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795448903321 996 $aThe supermarket revolution and food security in Namibia$93811391 997 $aUNINA
