Weighing In!

On September 10, 2013 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

In our previous blogs we have been privileged to explain some aspects of the World Renew/CFGB food project taking place in Eastern Province, Zambia. We have shared one example of conservation farming (fertility ditches) which serves to grow more abundant food, one example of an income generating activity (gardening) that can be used to buy food, and even an example of good ways to prepare food. This week we want to share another significant area addressed in this project: the direct relationship between food security and health.

Cooking Class Anyone?

On September 3, 2013 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

 

Imagine yourself attending a cooking demonstration, under a tree, in which only bricks, wood and ingredients grown in your own community are being used! One day last week, we were led on motorbike by Betty, one of the project’s Development Facilitators, into a remote location for just such an experience. We were warmly greeted by a few of the members of the local farmers’ group while the cooks quietly continued their work. Squatting in front of individual “stoves” (made up of three stacks of two bricks each and being fed by a long thin log gradually moved in to the centre of the fire to keep an even temperature), they added the various components and stirred.  Each was happy to show their cooking process and the ingredients being used, as well as being agreeable to pose for photos.
