Greetings from New Zealand.
I had the opportunity to work as a volunteer Food & Nutrition Advisor in Tanzania from 2010-2012. I did that under the Volunteer Service Abroad (VSA) of New Zealand.
During my two years working there for the Small Industries Development Organisation (SIDO), I was impressed by the programs run by SIDO in developing small industries, one of which is Food related.
The main emphasis is to encourage entrepreneurs to start up businesses, some of which are food related. The outcome of this approach is reduction of food losses at least to some extent.
Please find attached, some of my thoughts that are documented under this heading.
There are several other angles to explore this important topic of Food Sustainability.
i.e. Food ignorance, food sovereignty.
Happy to provide input in the future if an opportunity arises.
Kind regards
Anne
