This document discusses challenges facing Africa and opportunities for better nutrition. It outlines 5 goals: better education, job opportunities, healthcare, government, and affordable food. It then notes that over 500 insect species are eaten across Africa, but food security remains precarious due to challenges like land degradation, lack of investment, poverty, and a generation gap facing smallholder farmers. Overall the document examines nutrition issues and obstacles in Africa.
8. New (traditional) sources for nutrition
Approximately 500 species of
insects are eaten across Africa
(More than 1/3 of the global list)
Central and Southern Africa
are hot spots of edible insects
Paradoxically, food security
situation in these countries
remain precarious

Lack of investment in
agricultural modernisation
Lack of investment
in water control
infrastructure
Poverty - hunger
A generation gap: loss of farmer pride; youth
outmigration
Africa's millions of smallholder farmers face a primary challenge of
feeding themselves Source Madiodo Niasse ILC

Editor's Notes
SIANI year of Sustainability will create a new development agenda . We are part of a massive consultation on the development agenda _goal – erradicate poverty . SIANI followed the consultations . UN biggest survey even 7M have had their say and ranking of their priorities . MY World asks individuals which six of sixteen possible issues they think would make the most difference to their lives - See more at: http://www.myworld2015.org/?page=about-my- Consultation on line in the countries
Global agenda 17 goals opened up for grassroots to take ownership, be part of the process and prioritize differences in gender / age groups but not extremely .
Age group Moz one of the poorest countries a major country for Swedish development aid we not that this group wasnot consulted ; one of the poorest / dryest districts: general the Hunger goal- In the country food is # 3 but we can guess that
2030 erradicate hunger / malnutrition address the challenge of feeding more people while using less land, water and energy, concerted efforts and investments are needed to support a globe-spanning transition to sustainable farming systems and land management practices –
.Need to take a look at the food system – make it more efficient .- enough with food is produced today even for future challenges but there are problem in access
2030 end hunger and malnutrition Nutrition and food security is much more than the amount of calories consumed it also relaters to the absorption of the dietary intake Stunting in India is caused by continuous parasite infection and of bad sanitation and cohabitation with animals zoonosis.
2030 ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters, and that progressively improve land and soil quality
Resilient solutions and practices closer : Swedish research innovations is important ; Tripple green / nutrient recycling closer than you believe urine rainwater harvesting & conservation agriculture but what stops us many times are culture blockages
2020 maintain genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants, farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at national, regional and international levels, and ensure access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge as internationally agreed
Increase investment, in rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology development, and plant and livestock gene banks to, in particular in least developed countries, Farmers produce but how to reach the market in the right time?
Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets including, cooperatives support and knowledge to reach the market with the products : agroprocessing by the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Development Round
Sabasaba Cooperative - Central Kenya
Job creation 8.3 decent job creation farming sectore 1 billion people mainly women , hazardous sector child labour , entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises including through access to financial services
Align actions on cClimate change with the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda, Landscape approaches seek to provide tools and concepts for allocating and managing land to achieve social, economic, and environmental objectives in areas where agriculture, mining, and other productive land uses compete with environmental and biodiversity goals solutions for livelihoods for billions, food for everyone, diversity and protection of nature, and the foundation of the green economy. At the same time, landscapes are the source of one-third of our greenhouse gas emissions, encompass severe market failures related to natural resources, represent a fragmentation of sectors, and are subject to major conflicts and human rights problems.
How the Swedish resource base best can be mobilized to support in transforming its agricultural sector to be more productive, diverse, resource efficient and sustainable.
