New measures must establish a viable food economy to which the poor can gain access, promote environmentally friendly urban agriculture, create infrastructure for a clean and healthy physical environment, and disseminate information about good health and nutrition practices. Efforts to eliminate urban food insecurity and malnutrition must be broad based. The many actors in a community must coordinate their actions to address problems at different levels. Strategies must also support, and not replace, the poor s own dynamic strategies for coping with problems. Working together, the government, the private sector, and households can overcome the challenges of urban poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition in the next century.
