Abstract:

Edible insects are gaining recognition as food with potential of contributing to attainment of household food security. In sub-Saharan Africa, sustainable use of insects as food is threatened by lack of data on host plants and habitatassociations. In addition, lack of nutritional data on most edible insects reduces consumer confidence and limits integration of insect consumption with other food sources. This study was undertaken to review, collate and assembledispersed information of some edible insects of Zimbabwe. Data on species identities, host plants and habitats weregathered for 14 speci

Abstract. The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus has been promoted in recent years as an intersectional concept designed to improve planning and regulatory decision-making across the three sectors. The production and consumption of water, energy and food resources are inextricably linked across multiple spatial scales (from the global to the local), but a common feature is competition for land which through different land management practices mediates provisioning ecosystem services. The nexus perspective seeks to understand the interlinkages and use systems-based thinking to frame management optio

Abstract Objectives Colon cancer (CRC) is one of the westernized diseases, common in the USA and Europe (&gt;50:100,000), rare in Africa (&lt;5:100,000). There is overwhelming evidence that CRC is driven by diet and the low risk in Africans may be attributed to the high fiber content of their traditional diet. (&gt;50g/d vs 10g/d). High fiber increases colonic microbial butyrogenesis, which is strongly anticarcinogenic. There is grave concern that CRC is becoming more common throughout Africa with migration to the cities.

There has been an increase in the consumption of ‘westernized ‘diets in SSA. The westernized diets consumed in low-income countries are usually high in salt content, fatty, processed and fast foods; and hence accelerate the development of HTN and T2DM.
