  1. Zimbabwe's first Traditional and Organic Food Festival Saturday 7 December at the Botanic Gardens in Harare from 9am to 4pm ($1 entrance)

  2. AIM To celebrate and publicise the diversity of healthy and sustainably produced food in Zimbabwe

  3.

  4. Why the Festival? • Zimbabwean diet going downhill - narrow and more processed junk foods • Many problems of malnutrition across the economic spectrum • Unsustainable production methods, lack of ecological perspective • Have a diversity of nutritious traditional foods • Need to link farmers and consumers more

  5. Collaborative spirit and not a one-off • Many organisations have come together to organise this: ZOPPA, PELUM-Zimbabwe, ZAVSAP, FoodMattersZimbabwe, ZIMSOFF, BIZ, CADS, STEP, Ministry of Health, UZ Nutrition department (students); has blessing of Food and Nutrition Council and ZTA • Will be meeting next year to plan further events, not only in Harare. • Contact: caroline@bio-innovation.org
