Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, Haramaya University, course: Urban Development, language: English, abstract: This paper devotes to discuss the concept of sustaining food security and urban agriculture and survival alternatives for migrants, as well as factors that help initiate the process and addresses possible reasons for the disconnect and then presents and discusses the implications for linking migration and food security. This paper therefore seeks to initiate a conversation between the separate worlds of migration and development on the one side, and food security on the other. The issue of food security is strikingly absent from current debates about the relationship between migration and development. The current international food security agenda displays a similar disregard for migration. There appears to be a massive disconnect between these two global development agendas. The reasons are hard to understand since the connections between migration and food security seem obvious. The methodology consisted of two data collection techniques: questionnaire survey and in-depth, semi-structured case-study interviews. These two data collection methods complement each other by providing generalized information through the survey and more fine-grained information through the in-depth interviews. The study used 58 representatives (sample). The results show a consistent pattern of difference between urban migrant and non-migrant households in relation to levels of food insecurity, sources of income, food procurement strategies, and participation in urban agriculture.
