The project starts from the proposition that the analysis of food systems in megaurban contexts offers special insights into the discontinuities, contentions, fragmentations and conflicts which global processes generate in local arenas. This proposition is based upon six assumptions: 1) Megaurban food systems are located at the interface between formal and informal spheres of food supply, distribution and consumption 2) Megaurban food systems reflect the dynamic articulations between global and local forces that shape food supply, distribution and consumption. 3) The informal sphere of the food system is constantly adapting to the structure and dynamics of the dominant modes of globalized food chains. 4) Megaurban food systems reflect the dynamics of specific material and resource flows. 5) Food markets are dynamic nodes within megaurban settlement development. 6) The functioning and efficiency of the informal sector is of utmost importance for sustaining the livelihoods and food security of the urban population. Based upon these assumptions, the project will integrate development economics and development geography to empirically study the food system of Dhaka in Bangladesh. The project addresses the following two guiding questions: 1) How is the megaurban society of Dhaka organized around food? 2) How might the food system change in the future under various plausible scenarios?

该项目的出发点是，对大城市背景下的粮食系统的分析为全球进程在当地领域产生的不连续性、争论、分裂和冲突提供了特殊的见解。这一命题基于六个假设： 1) 特大城市粮食系统位于粮食供应​​、分配和消费的正式和非正式领域之间的交界处 2) 特大城市粮食系统反映了塑造粮食供应、分配的全球和地方力量之间的动态关系和消费。 3）粮食系统的非正式领域不断适应全球化食物链主导模式的结构和动态。 4) 特大城市粮食系统反映了特定物质和资源流动的动态。 5) 食品市场是大城市居住区发展中的动态节点。 6) 非正规部门的运作和效率对于维持城市人口的生计和粮食安全至关重要。基于这些假设，该项目将整合发展经济学和发展地理学，对孟加拉国达卡的粮食系统进行实证研究。该项目解决了以下两个指导性问题：1）达卡的大城市社会是如何围绕食物组织起来的？ 2）在各种可能的情况下，未来粮食系统可能会发生怎样的变化？
