This publication maps out the city-region strategy for the implementation of the Urban Futures program in Cali.
The Cali Metropolitan Area, the third-largest city in Colombia with 2.5 million inhabitants, boasts a diversified and thriving economy. However, its agri-food system grapples with significant challenges, including marked inequalities, limited food diversity, restricted access to healthy options, malnutrition concerns (both hunger and overweight), a heavy reliance on imported food, and vulnerability to climate change impacts.
Urban Futures works at the intersection of urban food systems, youth wellbeing, and climate action. Operating in intermediary cities in five countries, it supports local partners and especially young people to create more inclusive, climate-resilient cities and urban food systems.
