Jordan Blekking studies how food systems work in cities and rural areas, with a strong focus on sub-Saharan Africa. The research examines topics like urban food security, how food markets are governed, and the risks and trade-offs involved in expanding agricultural production. Much of the work uses reviews and field evidence (for example, from Accra, Ghana) to understand how households and communities maintain access to food.
