Abstract

Sustainable diets are far from assured for many people. Acquisition of a nutritious sustainable diet is predicated upon the availability of income, the inadequacy of which inhibits many people from realizing proper sustenance throughout the year. The occupational status of the majority of workers in rural areas and urban informal economy of the Global South highlights a weak income generation potential, which impedes the procurement of a sustainable diet. Instituting a living wage and income and other proactive policy support measures would go a long way in overcoming the shortfall and allow many more people to lead a decent life.
