People are considered "food secure" when they have availability and adequate access at all times to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Food security analysts look at the combination of the following three main elements:
About Us
FOOD AVAILABILITY
Food must be available in sufficient quantities and on a consistent basis. It considers stock and production in a given area and the capacity to bring in food from elsewhere, through trade or aid.
FOOD ACCESS
People must be able to regularly acquire adequate quantities of food, through purchase, home production, barter, gifts, borrowing or food aid.
FOOD UTILISATION
Consumed food must have a positive nutritional impact on people. It entails cooking, storage and hygienic practices, individuals health, water and sanitation, feeding and sharing practices within the household.
OUR VISION: TO CREATE A WORLD OF ZERO HUNGER, DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH, THROUGHOUT SOUTH AFRICA AND THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA.
Our programme's mission is to drive awareness and action in schools, families and communities on how to move from food insecurity to food security.
