Fwd: [paepard] BOOK LAUNCH: "My Food is African: Healthy Soil, Safe Foods, and Diverse Diets"
by William Leschen 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Francois Stepman <fstepman(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2022 at 07:03 Subject: [paepard] BOOK LAUNCH: "My Food is African: Healthy Soil, Safe Foods, and Diverse Diets" To: Platform for African – European Partnership in Agricultural Research for Development Phase II (PAEPARD II) <PAEPARD(a)faraafrica.community>, Platform for African – European Partnership in Agricultural Research for Development Phase II (PAEPARD II) <PAEPARD(a)dgroups.org> (msg suivi par la version FR) From/De Kirubel Teshome Communications Officer www.afsafrica.org The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) announced the publication of *"My Food is African: Healthy Soil, Safe Foods, and Diverse Diets,"* a new book in the Barefoot Guide Agroecology Series. The book's release on World Food Day will be accompanied by the official virtual launch ceremony of the *"MY FOOD IS AFRICAN"* campaign. AFSA invites everyone to attend and participate in this continental-wide campaign for the revival of African foods. 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. Many of us maybe feeling uncertain, even lost, about how to eat healthily. There are many theories and interests behind these theories, some genuine but many focused more on their profit than your health. Eating healthily is not that complicated. New scientific research is simply telling us what many of our grandmothers, and their grandmothers, have always known. The guide, which focuses on how to grow food and eat healthily, was created by the AFSA Natural Food Barefoot Guide Writer's Collective. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the first Barefoot Guide in the agroecology series, "Surviving COVID-19: The Neglected Remedy," < https://afsafrica.org/afsa-press-release-surviving-covid-19-the-neglected-r… > was published. This guide can be read individually or used in groups. The goal is to enable 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. "*We have a problem when an increasing number of young people in Africa prefer fast food to home cooking,*" said Dr. Million Belay, General Coordinator of AFSA. In Africa, obesity, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, cancer, and diabetes are all on the rise. *"What Africa has is healthy and if we grow the diversity that we desire, not only will we rejoice, but so will nature around us, because resilience comes from diversity."* This book explains why our African diet has so many health benefits. It contains examples of practice, culture, health, and science. It honors our food cultures while also warning us about the dangers of chemicals and misguided approaches such as biofortification. *"As a Public Health Physician turned Sustainable Development Practitioner and passionate advocate of preventive interventions, I strongly recommend reading and using this book as an awareness creation tool resulting in dietary behavior changes,"* said Dr. Peter Ogera Mokaya, Executive Director of Organic Consumers Alliance (OCA) and a Public Health and Development Practitioner. *"Coming at a time when the current conventional food system is broken and has failed by producing toxic food, this book fills a gap, it provides a much-needed alternative healthy diets solution to food insecurity, rising chronic disease burden, and the climate crisis, by providing an Afrocentric roadmap to safe and healthy diets and a healthy ecosystem”* *"African solutions are required to address the continent's problems of food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. We have the solutions in our hands*,” said Prof. Cecilia Moraa Onyango, Senior Lecturer at the University of Nairobi's Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection *“Africa's crops are resilient, contain a variety of nutrients, and are the solution to our problems. Africa should wake up and start celebrating our rich diversity found in our cultures, languages, fashion, and food,"* she added. *“We cannot afford to rely solely on a few food crops. This is more than just boring to eat; it significantly lowers the quality of the diet and renders farming systems unsustainable and extremely vulnerable, particularly during extreme weather conditions."* This Barefoot Guide is free to download and offered with love and care for every person, every family, and every community in Africa (and beyond). AFSA, taking advantage of the occasion of World Food Day will hold a three-day campaign to officially launch MY FOOD IS AFRICAN campaign and spread the book that guides the journey and accelerates the transition towards agroecology and food sovereignty in Africa.

La sortie du livre lors de la Journée mondiale de l'alimentation sera accompagnée de la cérémonie officielle de lancement virtuel de la campagne *"MON ALIMENTAIRE EST AFRICAIN"*. L'AFSA invite tout le monde à assister et à participer à cette campagne continentale pour la renaissance des aliments africains. Ce livre vous emmène en voyage à travers les fermes, les jardins, les marchés locaux et les cuisines d'Afrique pour vous faire découvrir les aliments et les cultures uniques, délicieux et sains qui composent ce magnifique continent. Beaucoup d'entre nous se sentent peut-être incertains, voire perdus, quant à la manière de manger sainement. Il existe de nombreuses théories et les intérêts qui se cachent derrière ces théories, certains sont authentiques mais beaucoup sont plus axés sur leur profit que sur votre santé. Manger sainement n'est pas si compliqué. Les nouvelles recherches scientifiques nous disent simplement ce que beaucoup de nos grands-mères, et leurs grands-mères, ont toujours su. Le guide, qui met l'accent sur la façon de cultiver des aliments et de manger sainement, a été créé par le collectif de rédacteurs du Guide aux pieds nus de l'AFSA sur les aliments naturels. Au plus fort de la pandémie de COVID-19, le premier Guide aux pieds nus de la série sur l'agroécologie, "Survivre au COVID-19 : The Neglected Remedy", < https://afsafrica.org/afsa-press-release-surviving-covid-19-the-neglected-r… > a été publié. Ce guide peut être lu individuellement ou utilisé en groupe. L'objectif est de permettre aux lecteurs et aux utilisateurs d'explorer plus en profondeur la question de savoir comment manger beaucoup plus sainement. À l'aide de diverses méthodes telles que des histoires à débattre, des illustrations, des encadrés informatifs et des fiches d'information, il guide les lecteurs et les utilisateurs vers les changements de comportement souvent difficiles à obtenir, tout en célébrant les connaissances indigènes et notre lien avec la nature. La direction proposée par cette publication est une solution plus sûre, plus saine et plus durable vers la souveraineté alimentaire. "*Nous avons un problème lorsqu'un nombre croissant de jeunes en Afrique préfèrent la restauration rapide à la cuisine familiale*"*, *a déclaré le Dr Million Belay, coordinateur général de l'AFSA. En Afrique, l'obésité, les maladies cardiovasculaires, les maladies respiratoires, le cancer et le diabète sont tous en hausse. *"Ce que l'Afrique possède est sain et si nous cultivons la diversité que nous souhaitons, non seulement nous nous réjouirons, mais la nature autour de nous aussi, car la résilience vient de la diversité."* Ce livre explique pourquoi notre régime alimentaire africain présente tant d'avantages pour la santé. Il contient des exemples de pratique, de culture, de santé et de science. Il rend hommage à nos cultures alimentaires tout en nous mettant en garde contre les dangers des produits chimiques et des approches peu judicieuses telles que la biofortification. *"En tant que médecin de santé publique devenu praticien du développement durable et défenseur passionné des interventions préventives, je recommande vivement la lecture et l'utilisation de ce livre comme outil de sensibilisation entraînant des changements de comportement alimentaire", *a déclaré le Dr Peter Ogera Mokaya, directeur exécutif de l'Organic Consumers Alliance (OCA) et praticien de la santé publique et du développement. "À l'heure où le *système alimentaire conventionnel actuel est en panne et a échoué en produisant des aliments toxiques, ce livre comble une lacune, il offre une solution alternative à l'insécurité alimentaire, à l'augmentation des maladies chroniques et à la crise climatique, en fournissant une feuille de route afrocentrique pour une alimentation sûre et saine et un écosystème sain. "* *"Des solutions africaines sont nécessaires pour résoudre les problèmes d'insécurité alimentaire, de malnutrition et de pauvreté du continent. Nous avons les solutions entre nos mains*", a déclaré le professeur Cecilia Moraa Onyango, maître de conférences au département des sciences végétales et de la protection des cultures de l'université de Nairobi*. "Les cultures africaines sont résistantes, contiennent une variété de nutriments et sont la solution à nos problèmes. L'Afrique doit se réveiller et commencer à célébrer la richesse de sa diversité dans ses cultures, ses langues, sa mode et son alimentation", *a-t-elle ajouté. *"Nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre de dépendre uniquement de quelques cultures vivrières. C'est plus qu'ennuyeux à manger ; cela diminue considérablement la qualité du régime alimentaire et rend les systèmes agricoles non durables et extrêmement vulnérables, en particulier lors de conditions climatiques extrêmes."* Ce guide aux pieds nus peut être téléchargé gratuitement et est offert avec amour et attention à chaque personne, chaque famille et chaque communauté en Afrique (et au-delà). L'AFSA, profitant de l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de l'alimentation, organisera une campagne de trois jours pour lancer officiellement la campagne MY FOOD IS AFRICAN et diffuser le livre qui guide le voyage et accélère la transition vers l'agroécologie et la souveraineté alimentaire en Afrique.

Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for Sustainable Urban Farming in Sub-Saharan Africa
by William Leschen 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Ed Interesting to read their summarised findings ... "The results suggest that small-scale RAS are technically and financially viable only with family labor having proper aquaculture monitoring and management skills. Furthermore, access to adequate equipment and inputs as well as electricity for the recirculating system are crucial. Urban innovation actors will adopt RAS if operations are profitable given that family labor is employed." Ed Would welcome any of our readers/ Followers views / their own experiences on RAS for grow out for different species tilapia? catfish ? other? and also in some of the african countries where over the last 10-15 years they have been tried .... Nigeria ? Kenya? Malawi ? Tanzania ? South Africa ? now in Ghana ? elsewhere ....
