Transforming Zimbabwe’s Food System Through Seed and Food Festivals
Zimbabwe faces a nutrition crisis related to food insecurity and poor consumption behaviour. To address this, local organisations, supported by SDC, are championing indigenous, climate-resilient crops through seed and food festivals. These events highlight traditional foods' nutritional and environmental benefits, offering a platform for smallholder farmers and food producers. The 2024 National Good Food and Seed Festival held on 14th September in Harare showcased Zimbabwe’s diverse, resilient, local foods, aiming to transform the nation's food system.
