For the Life in a Time of Food Price Volatility
project, we visited a low-income neighborhood in Karachi to document
the impact of food prices on residents and asked them about their food
consumption, livelihoods and hardships faced. We found that the main
source of vulnerability for households in Karachi was not a rise in
prices but rather strikes in the city and fuel shortages.
