Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Rural–urban migrants play an important role in China’s urban food economy. To investigate the contribution of migrants in urban food systems, this chapter analyses several datasets collected by the Hungry Cities Partnership in Nanjing over the past seven years, including a city-wide migrant farmer survey, a food vendor survey, a supermarket survey and a household food security survey. The chapter shows that rural–urban migrants are extensively involved in food production, wholesaling, and retailing and as supermarket employees. Working as migrant farmers and migrant vendors, rural–urban migrants contribute significantly to urban food security, improving both food availability and accessibility. The chapter also unveils the challenges facing migrants, including food insecurity, food retailing challenges, and how the daily operation of migrant food vendors was affected by COVID-19.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
