Someone is considered food insecure if he or she did not eat for an entire day during the past year because there was no food.
Half of South Africa’s population will be food insecure by 2025, with 48.96% of the population potentially not having enough to eat. Today, on World Food Day, 1 in 5 of the country’s households do not know where their next meal will come from.
These percentages are based on research that the Shoprite Group commissioned to focus national attention on food insecurity and mobilise South Africans to explore every feasible option to end hunger by 2030 in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The Shoprite Group commissioned the research to increase awareness of food insecurity and its attendant issues and encourage South Africans to support initiatives that are successfully rolling back hunger and poverty.“There are many ways ordinary people can contribute to existing, successful programmes. For example, consumers can donate as little as R5 to the Act For Change Fund at any Shoprite, Checkers or Usave supermarket.
