Bio

Gareth Haysom is an urban food systems researcher at the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. He co-leads (with Jane Battersby) the Urban Food Systems Research Cluster at the ACC. He holds a PhD from the University of Cape Town and a MPhil from Stellenbosch University. Gareth’s work focuses on the intersection between the urban system and the food system. Haysom uses food as a lens to better understand urbanisation in cities of the global South with a specific interest in African cities, working across a variety of countries and city types.

The premise motivating this work is that Africa’s future will be an urban one and a narrow window exists in which to respond to the specific needs of the varied urban forms and typologies before the future is cast in concrete.

Food, food system challenges, the nutrition transition, the rise in diet related non communicable diseases, the triple nutrition burden and everyday food system related questions offer a unique perspective on how African cities are changing and how urbanites navigate the urban everyday. This lens also emphasises the flaws in existing food system policies and governance, particularly the scale at which such policies and governance are enacted. A food system lens clearly shows the intersections between the built environment, infrastructure, and poverty and inequality. Importantly, using urban food as a lens to understand cities provides a useful way to show how food and nutrition outcomes are linked directly to the nature and quality of physical, social, and ecological infrastructure, something that has not traditionally been viewed as the responsibility of built environment professionals or urban policy makers.

Haysom has published widely but given how exclusionary existing academic paywalls are for African researchers, Haysom publishes in a variety of ways, through working papers, open access books and other briefs and media.

Haysom teaches on a number of courses at UCT, specifically the Urban Food Security post graduate course (in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences) and the Masters in Sustainable Urban Practice (African Centre for Cities), where he leads the urban food systems module. He previously established the first Masters course in sustainable food systems (Stellenbosch University) and serves as an external assessor for various post graduate courses.

Haysom actively works with officials in various African cities, attempting to embed food systems activities in planning and urban governance. Gareth acts in an advisory role for Africa-focused development support organisations and UN bodies (specifically UN FAO and UN Habitat).
