Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right for a sustainable, equitable an dinclusive world where noone is left behind. Access to food for everyone, especially low-income and vulnerable groups, should be guaranteed. With the "EndHunger" goal, which is the second of the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Global Goals, countries have committed to ending hunger, achieving food security and good nutrition, and supporting sustainable agriculture. Central and local governments have important duties and responsibilities in achieving this goal. Local governments, as the closest public institutions to people's daily life experiences, are among the critical actors in ensuring access to food, ensuring food security and good nutrition. The aim of the study is to analyze the food management and agricultural policies of 30 metropolitan municipalities, which have 78% of Turkey's population, with a comparative perspective. For this purpose, the 2020-2024 Strategic Plans and 2020 Annual Reports of metropolitan municipalities were scanned with the focus of Access to food, food security and sustainable agriculture. In addition, concrete suggestions have been presented for cities to feed themselves and increase the irresilience in the face of global crises such as Covid-19.
