urbanisation has intensified pressures on its food, water, and ecological systems, creating growing imbalances that threaten sustainability and equity. This policy brief underscores the urgency of re-integrating these interdependent systems to enable a resilient, inclusive, and climate-responsive city. It highlights how the disconnections between food production and consumption, fragmented water governance, and the degradation of wetlands, tanks, and green spaces have weakened the city\u2019s ecological base. Integrating food, water, and ecology requires rethinking urban planning and governance towards circularity, decentralisation, and restoration. The brief identifies key directions: strengthening urban and peri-urban agriculture, protecting and rejuvenating lakes and watersheds, enabling nature-based infrastructure, and fostering community-led initiatives that link livelihoods with ecological regeneration. Collaboration among local governments, communities, industries, and knowledge institutions is essential to create adaptive, evidence-based, and participatory solutions. Building on Bengaluru\u2019s strong civic networks and innovation potential, the brief calls for embedding ecological thinking and food-water linkages at the heart of urban policy and practice, ensuring long-term resilience and wellbeing for all.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-mghkugzi-cfc06d099aadbfdd93dbb493b8158320-wrap avia-button-left
