The third and final edition of 2020 of the Sustainable Together talk series takes a closer look at the topics of food sovereignty and food security.
54% of South Africans are hungry or at risk of hunger. Hunger is a violation of human rights and has an impact on health, education and not least dignity. Urban farming initiatives make a big difference in providing families with fresh produce and the skills to continue growing their own food. Yet, they cannot solve everything.
The panellists speak about the concepts of food sovereignty and security and present (urban) farming initiatives and the role they play for civil society.
A conversation between Dr. Brittany Kesselman (researcher, Wits University), Moleboge Lekwane (Tshadilema), Dorah Marema (Ubuntu project / Seed Community) and Tshidi Molebatsi (Tshadilema). Moderated by Kate Gardner (British Council / REEL Gardening).
The booklet
The booklet below has been created by We Will All Eat, as part of the project, ‘Decolonising food for health and sustainability’ (with support from The Goethe-Institut’s ‘Sustainable Together’ programme). It provides a small taste of the rich knowledge the trainers, speakers and participants brought to the live workshops and online event during the course of the project, with texts on ancestral food wisdom, the sacredness of plants, the uses of some indigenous plants, recipes and drawings. We hope you find it interesting and useful, and that it will stimulate further exploration of the wisdom of indigenous plants. Please feel free to download and share this booklet with others who might benefit from it.
