A Look at What S.A. Is Eating and the Nation's Health Plate of the Nation: A look at what S.A. is eating and the nation’s health. March 2020 We need a fundamental overhaul of our food system which, in its current form, is a threat to the environment and human health. (WWF South Africa report :Agri-Food Systems: Facts and Futures) Our planet is not headed in a good direction on various levels: our collective health is deteriorating, our environment is worsening, and our growing human population will continue taxing food supplies. (The Great Food Transformation: The EAT Lancet Commission Report) Understand the composition of the plate of the nation across the different demographics (% of meat eaters, What was vegetarians, vegans, flexitarians). the reason for Understand the attitudes towards food, what is consumed and the link to health. the study? • Knorr would like to help South Africa move towards a better food future by providing stakeholders Understanding if there is an improvement (government, NGO’s, Industry, retailers, etc.) in access to healthy foods. with information regarding how & what the nation is eating and how it impacts South Africa’s health • The main purpose of this research is to create a source of information that stakeholders can tap into in order to shape the health of the nation Understand the challenges in consuming healthy foods.

Due to this prevailing situation, drought and climate resistant crops like sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) can adequately contribute to food security. The versatility and importance of sorghum is well reflected in its use as a major food source for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa.

  • SIM 02 09 01 Nutrition Report 13 Jan 2004
    Safety In Mines Research Advisory Committee (SIMRAC) Final Report Nutrition and occupational health and safety in the South African mining industry Part 1 B Dias P Wolmarans JA Laubscher P C Schutte 1 Research Agency : CSIR Miningtek Project number : SIM 02 09 01 Date : December 2003 2 Executive Summary Housing and nutrition have been used as indicators of poverty, and as common targets for intervention to improve public health and reduce health inequalities (Gauldie 1974). The relationship between health, nutrition and housing is well established. The basic human need for shelter and food would appear to make the relationship between poor housing and food, and poor health self evident (Burridge and Omangy, 1993). At the Mine Health and Safety Council meeting in 2001, Mining Occupational Health Advisory Committee (MOHAC) was required to consider the potential impact housing and nutrition has on occupational health and safety in the South African Mining Industry. Historically, miners have been housed and fed in hostels but provisions of both accommodation and nutrition are changing and vary across the industry. There is no recent research to assess whether miners are receiving the proper nutrition and fluid intake for the physical demands of the work they perform in the South African mining industry. Research is therefore needed to assess the nutritional status of mineworkers who live out and those who stay in the hostels and to provide guidelines for a nutritionally adequate diet for mineworkers in various mining environments. The Black labour law was the last law to regulate nutrition in the mines. The regulation was gazetted in 1975 and stipulated the minimum ration scale for “Bantu” employees.

Executive Summary: South Africa’s agro-food and beverages processing sector, serving a population of about 53 million, remains a significant component of the manufacturing economy. The sector is developed, highly concentrated and competitive, producing high quality and niche products for local and international markets. The agro-processing (food and beverages) industry contributed $2,903 million between January-August 2013, an annual percentage change of 4 percent. The sector has a number of competitive advantages, making it an important trading partner. The establishment of preferential trade agreements such as Customs Union for Southern African Customs Union countries, African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for the U.S. market, a Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Southern African Development Community (SADC) and with the European Union (EU), and other agreements which confer generous benefits to South Africa.

Moreover, the co-existence of adult (especially female) overweight and obesity with hidden hunger and child malnutrition raises serious concerns over household food security. Despite a multitude of state, private sector and non-governmental agency (NGO)-funded food security programmes, South Africa is one of only 12 countries in the world where stunting has increased over the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) period.

  • African Sorghum-Based Fermented Foods: Past, Current and Future Prospects
    nutrients Review African Sorghum-Based Fermented Foods: Past, Current and Future Prospects Oluwafemi Ayodeji Adebo Department of Biotechnology and Food Technology, Faculty of Science, University of Johannesburg (Doornfontein Campus), P.O. Box 17011 Johannesburg, Gauteng 2028, South Africa; [email protected]; Tel.: +27-11-559-6261 Received: 28 February 2020; Accepted: 14 April 2020; Published: 16 April 2020 Abstract: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a well-known drought and climate resistant crop with vast food use for the inhabitants of Africa and other developing countries. The importance of this crop is well reflected in its embedded benefits and use as a staple food, with fermentation playing a significant role in transforming this crop into an edible form. Although the majority of these fermented food products evolve from ethnic groups and rural communities, industrialization and the application of improved food processing techniques have led to the commercial success and viability of derived products. While some of these sorghum-based fermented food products still continue to bask in this success, much more still needs to be done to further explore evolving techniques, technologies and processes. The addition of other affordable nutrient sources in sorghum-based fermented foods is equally important, as this will effectively augment the intake of a nutritionally balanced product. Keywords: sorghum; fermentation; lactic acid bacteria; fermented products; food security; 4th industrial revolution (4IR) 1. Introduction In terms of production quantity, sorghum is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world after rice, wheat, maize and barley, and the most grown cereal in Sub-Saharan Africa, after maize [1–3].
