(2010, background): “FAO (2008) argues that its figures may underestimate the increase in hunger because it is assumed that the distribution of dietary energy intake stays the same when prices rise, whereas microeconomic work suggests otherwise (Zezza et al. 2008).”
Urban agriculture, poverty, and food security: empirical evidence from a sample of developing countries. (2010, background): “Poor urban dwellers, being largely net food buyers and depending mostly on markets for their food supplies, are particularly vulnerable to adverse food price shocks, and are consistently the group in society that suffers most from higher food prices (Zezza et al., 2008; Dessus et al., 2008).”
Gendered impacts of the 2007–2008 food price crisis: Evidence using panel data from rural Ethiopia (2013, background): “Among these studies, only Zezza et al. (2008) examine what types of households are more likely to be vulnerable.”
Urban agriculture in the developing world: a review (2013, background): “This makes them highly vulnerable to food price hikes (Zezza et al. 2008; Dessus et al. 2008).”

Rising Food Prices and Undernourishment - A Cross-Country Inquiry (2013, result): “This result contrasts starkly with what was found by Zezza et al. (2008), who simulated the effects of food price increase on welfare and found consistently in 11 countries that it is the poorest urban consumers who were most negatively affected.”
