Among our participants, food properties in terms of quality, safety or contamination did not appear to be a driver of food choices. Yet, cultural preferences appeared to fuel continued wild food consumption, especially among the elder participants. The focus groups revealed intra-generational differenc...
safety and quality of water resources become compromised as the levels of manure-borne pathogens begin to increase in aquatic bodies. The manure-borne pathogens can potentially impact aquatic organisms negatively (Hu et al.2017). Moreover, most rural dwellers in SSA resort to using contaminated wat...
A pattern we observed across our review was level of rigour of measures between LMIC and HIC settings, in particular in relation to measuring soil health, food safety and environmental sustainability. There was a trend for studies from HICs (see for instance [151] [151]), to measure soil q...

Types of services included information about input application, farming practices and production systems; market information; health and safety; and managerial and business skills—as well as knowledge about environmental stewardship and sustainability. These services would ideally be bundled flexibly and ...
There are some important safety considerations if you want food to last longer, particularly if you want to store it at room temperature. There is a risk of botulism if food is not heated to the correct temperature for the correct amount of time, particularly for foods that are low in ...
A pilot urban social safety net programme funded by the UK government is an exception to in-kind aid, using mobile money transfers. It aims to reach 100,000 people “at-risk” and could be extended to 200,000 if more financing is found. ...
[67,71,95]. Côté’s 2014 study assessed 50 in-depth interviews complemented by an electronic survey of 114 of Canadian health and safety and environmental regulators concluded there was low level awareness among policymakers of the potential threat of investor-state challenges to regulations [76...
The first policy was enacted in 1947; the Fertilisers, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies, and Stock Remedies Act (Fig.1) (Republic of South Africa,1947). Extant policies that followed this until 1994 focused mainly on conservation, land, agricultural production, and national food security. Food ...
Our review had several limitations. First, our review collated a very broad range of natural food environment characteristics, and it is likely that the literature on food safety, animal source foods and food loss and waste was underrepresented. Waste was a theme that was discussed in some studi...
