COVID-19 crisis tells world what Indigenous Peoples have been saying for thousands of years https://t.co/8e9tCouWGs via @NatObserver

[Frank Mechielsen @FrankMechielsen]

#COVID19 is a symptom of the destruction of natural ecosystems and #biodiversity, caused by our globalized food system. Let this be a wake-up call to restructure the #foodsystem in a way that addresses the parallel crises we are facing. https://t.co/vewE6Z9jZo #sustainablefood

[Hivos Southern Africa @hivosrosa]

As we commemorate #WorldFoodDay, today, @hivosrosa & @IIED launch a new research around #sustainablediets which provides evidence on the current status, perceptions, challenges & policy context of informal food markets in #Lusaka & Kitwe, in Zambia https://t.co/4wJNMxL90k

[Mangiza @Mangiza7]

@IIED A6 Knowledge is power. Sometimes citizens do not realise their role so engaging them in conversations on gow impoetant their participation is. #HealthyDietsWeek

[Mangiza @Mangiza7]

@IIED Diversifying starts from farm to plate. Traditional culture and habits limits what people consume thereby limiting production #healthydietsweek

[Mangiza @Mangiza7]

@IIED A3. Policies that support market development for traditional foods will greatly advance quality and range. Research and Decvelopment in trational foods is also very key.

[IIED @IIED]

Q3. What policies can best support traditional food markets and traders to improve the quality and range of foods they offer? #HealthyDietsWeek

[Mangiza @Mangiza7]

@IIED A2. High food prices. In zambia middlemen/go between farmers and traders hiking prices beyond easily accessible levels

[Mangiza @Mangiza7]

@IIED A1. The focus on the diet is nutritional value more than anything else

#SustainableDiets ⁦⁦@hivosrosa⁩ wt ⁦@CSOSUN⁩ y/day was b4 Expanded Parliament Committee on Estimates #Zambia. Made Reflections on the #2020NationalBudget from a #Food&Nutrition perspective. This process helps #MPs to provide f/back on budget to #MinisterFinance

[William Chilufya @wchilufya]

Analysis of #2020NationalBudgt by @CSOSUN @hivosrosa shows various line items supporting #AgricDiversification reduced or removed. This is sad. The #BeyondMaizeStudy #TrueCostofMaize Evidence were used to put up a case for more budget for diversification

[Mathews Mhuru @MhuruMathews]

Nutrition sensitive agriculture and value addition what Zambia needs for #sustainable #development

What's a #genderbalanced world? On the lead up to #IWD2019 we pay tribute to inspiring 'SHEROES' who have dared to break patriarchal barricades and common stereotypes that inhibit gender equal societies. Stay plugged in #BalanceforBetter

[Frank Mechielsen @FrankMechielsen]

On this #IWD2019 @Hivos @IIED celebrate women like Ibu Enny and her fellow entrepreneurs, as well as our partners like Tanoker, who dedicate time to empowering them to strengthen as SMEs so they can transform the local food system, one mouth at a time. https://t.co/irL4veLytZ

[William Chilufya @wchilufya]

Tomorrow is #WomensDay2019 one of the things we can do is to recognise the role that women are playing in #Agriculture like #AmaiVero in #JayVillage of #Kanakatapa #Chongwe @Mwandwe16 @FrankMechielsen

[William Chilufya @wchilufya]

A woman in the middle of #agriculture challenges, drought & pests. Some pests looking beautiful for the eye but deadly to crops! Where will our food come from, #AmaiVero of JayVillage asks #womenday2019

[William Chilufya @wchilufya]

Creating a more sustainable #foodsystem means not only recognizing the role of women in nourishing families but also uplifting women in their current efforts #IWD2019 @FrankMechielsen @hivosrosa https://t.co/b1m9uFQ6Tk

[Mangiza @Mangiza7]

The right policy framework is key in encouraging private sector involvement in supporting #SustainableDietsforAll @MhuruMathews ,@wchilufya
