You can do your part for the Planet by eating Sustainable & Green foods. This is plant based cheese #Future50Foods
Did you know 60% of calories from plants in the entire human diet come from 3 plants- wheat, rice & maize. This is why we need to diversify what we eat for our benefit nutrition wise & to protect soil #Future50Foods
Only 13% of South African Land is arable. 62% of our water goes to agriculture, with our current water crisis, it’s critical for us to change what we eat: to foods that don’t take up so much water #Future50Foods
71% of South African women are overweight. 43% of South African kids are malnourished. 51% of deaths in Sa are due to non-communable diseases #Future50Foods
For us to eat everyday, we rely on the soil, water & animals. Human beings need to look at food differently & realize they are not superior to other living organisms #Future50Foods
Commodifying food is the reason why farming methods changed & the food we eat regularly is no longer diverse. #Future50Foods
The biggest challenges facing modern food system is wastage, nutrition, cost, population growth vs resources. We are only exposed to a smal segment of foods & food security #Future50Foods
We are eating large volumes of food as we reach economic independence, but we are not eating good quality or diverse food #Future50Foods
Because of how dry Joburg is & lack of rivers, people are not supposed to be living in Joburg. Since food isn’t grown here, it has a greater impact on the environment when it comes to transportation & pesticides to preserve the food grown outside #Future50Foods
The quicker the food is cooked, the more nutritional it is. Cooking methods we follow also affect climate change #Future50Foods
If we don’t take care of the environment, you can have as much money as you want, but we still need the planet. #Future50Foods
Eat food that loves you back #Future50Foods
Your genes actually react to the food that your ancestors to make you healthy. Which is why it’s important to go back to Ancestral diet. Eating the food our ancestors ate #Future50Foods
A Locavore is someone that eats food that has been grown around them. Food grown in your environment is much healthier for you #Future50Foods
You guys always wonder why the younger generation look so grown. Well most of the food we eat is pumped with Growth Hormones & pesticides. Organic farming is the future of farming because it’s small scale & caters to local communities #Future50Foods
Almonds are not sustainable, especially when you are changing from Milk to almond milk. Growing just one almond take up more than 3 liters of water. South Africa has indigenous beans & nuts which are used for milk alternatives which are better #Future50Foods
Tubers such as “Amadumbe” are great for treating diseases such as diabetes & for gut health. #Future50Foods
Did you know maize comes in 60 different colors & white is not one of them. Maize is originally from Mexico & does not have any African heritage or origins . But it takes up the most territory & water to be grown in africa #Future50Foods
In 2013 24% of South Africans were over weight and obese. Today the number has gone up to 44% #Future50Foods
Because of storage & transportation & the need to make profit, food is way more expensive than its supposed to be in South Africa. #Future50Foods
loving these hats they gave us for sun protection 
Just got to Siyakhana Organic Food Garden! #Future50Foods
Siyakhana started in 2005 by Wits & professor Rudolph. They took land that was being used by city parks as a dumping yard to turn it into a garden. The project started with feeding local communities & schools for free #Future50Foods
To help with skills development, you can intern here! They now sell produce to local schools as a means to take care of the land. City parks has allocated them more land to plant more crops. #Future50foods
Now Siyakhana provides work for the unemployed & makes food for their employees so no one ever sleeps or works hungry. #Future50Foods
Siyakhana is also looking for sustainable means of packaging their food & currently looking for volunteers to help with marketing. Their shop for the public is open Monday to Sunday! #Future50Foods
About to go on the tour of the vegetation! All the plants are grown organically & with no pesticides #Future50Foods
Having a garden like this is literally adulting goals for me #Future50Foods
Since y’all know so much! What plant is this? #Future50Foods
Chefs are the ones who have to create the demand for plant based diet. All the food being eaten here are part of the #50FutureFoods (cold Broad Bean & Moringa Soup)
