Article Synopsis
- Low- and middle-income countries like South Africa struggle with ensuring access to healthy and sustainable food despite their rich biodiversity and traditional knowledge of forest foods.
- A study conducted in eThekwini involved 280 households, revealing that only 29% were food secure while most experienced varying levels of food insecurity.
- The analysis indicated that cultivated green spaces and factors like wealth, education, and grants help reduce food insecurity, while non-cultivated green spaces and other socio-economic factors contribute to it, suggesting the need for policy interventions that leverage green spaces to improve food security.
