"Wheat grows golden in the sun. Maize, tall and yellow – all kinds of sun yellow, deep green leaves so broad and thick. Sugar cane juice drips brown and sticky down my chin" - A Basic Basket of Food by @zaykay - read it here: https://t.co/CPPj5fyZWt #food #foodsovereignty

"This understanding of which food is available and how to forage ethically requires tapping into existing networks rooted in indigenous knowledge." Zayaan Khan (@zaykay) on being more mindful of how food makes it to our plates https://t.co/0nwSwpar16

I have a sneaking suspicion that mosquitos are evolving to be silent, at least this seasonal run of adults featuring now on the vlei.

Marveling at worms, fungi, and the pioneering water bear, Jay Griffiths brings our attention to what dwells beneath our feet, inviting us to remember that soil is what turns the Earth’s barren rock into the riotous life we know.

Microbes in the air help seed clouds, which could impact the clouds’ reflectivity and how much rain they bring. https://t.co/1yO07Z33EP

If the global economy continues to grow at 3% per year, we will consume as much energy and materials in the next 30 years as we did cumulatively in the past 10,000.

This trajectory will radically destabilize earth systems. To assume otherwise is madness. #postgrowth

@NimiHoffmann @yemisiAA @Grondwerk @Suldaan__ @Fatumaabdulahi @redrustin @samirasawlani @RAbdiCG @RK_ct Alas no there is not, I've worked out some recipes like for makoya karri (w bee brood) and for these sweets but there's a lot to do still. Hopefully a project for 2020 if the funding comes through.

OK I think I'm back to the twittersphere, biesmillah!

@webmz_ @megangodsell From South Africa I would add @zaykay who respects seeds as ancestors, as history, as identity, and is a food and forage innovator

#OBF2019 : @zaykay leads 2 tours that weave together stories of place & space through the lens of food. The tours are sold-out but you can join the 'Busting Food Myths' panel discussion with @LeonieJoubert & @mphotshukudu_rd in convo with Jane Battersby https://t.co/59NErHpkGT

[African Centre for Cities @UrbanAfricaACC]

#OBF2019: It's day 2 of the @OpenBookFest & the second ACC Food Tour is underway led by @zaykay.

[African Centre for Cities @UrbanAfricaACC]

#OBF2019 Myth 1 Is the answer to food insecurity producing more?
@LeonieJoubert cities are awash with empty calories that don't nourish
@mphotshukudu_rd more food doesn't mean nutritionally better or culturally appropriate
@zaykay there's so much waste in the food system

[African Centre for Cities @UrbanAfricaACC]

@zaykay alludes to the role of informal markets where you can buy local, fresh produce in small quantities, sometimes even on credit if money is short. Face-to-face exchange also allows for a sense of provenance, knowledge exchange & sharing recipes that the formal space excludes

@DEWebster So late to the game, I gotta be better at twitter :/

[Zayaan Khan @zaykay]

@NimiHoffmann @RK_ct @yemisiAA @Grondwerk @Suldaan__ @Fatumaabdulahi @redrustin @samirasawlani @RAbdiCG Now this is difficult because of access but it is possible, you could technically make Koesuster stroop out of suikerbossies if you got them at the right time of year and enough to cook down :)
