The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) is pleased to announce the publication of ''My Food is African: Healthy Soil, Safe Foods, and Diverse Diets'', a new book in the Barefoot Guide Agroecology Series.

This book takes you on a journey through Africa’s farms, gardens, local markets, and kitchens to learn about the unique, delicious, and healthy foods and cultures that make up this magnificent continent. It enables readers and users to explore more deeply the question of how to eat much more healthily. Using a variety of methods such as stories for discussion, illustrations, information boxes and fact sheets, it guides readers and users towards the often-difficult behavior changes needed, as it celebrates indigenous knowledge and our connection with nature. The direction proposed by this publication is a safer, healthier, and more sustainable solution towards food sovereignty.
