The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and Ecumenical Foundation of Southern Africa discussion examines reasons for prevalence of hunger despite abundance of foodSA has an abundance of food, but there are households that do not have adequate access to food to meet their daily nutritional requirements and go hungry. Why is this and what can be done to address this challenge?
With tonnes of food going to landfills daily, the availability of food is not the primary reason millions of people are going hungry. According to Crispin Sonn, chairperson of Food Forward SA, which feeds more than 500,000 people daily, the problem lies in the supply chain. He emphasised the need to separate the issues of support for small-scale farming and food security, given that the former is about diversifying supply chains for social change while the latter is mostly about removing inefficiency in the supply chain.
Solving food insecurity over the medium and long term requires a structural perspective beyond the food system.
