foraging Wild food in urban spaces the contribution of Wild Foods to urban dietary diversity in south africa
Sustainability, 2020Co-Authors: Hesekia Garekae, Charlie M. ShackletonAbstract:Globally, approximately one billion people benefit from contributions of Wild Foods to their food security and dietary diversity. Wild Foods are known to be important in rural communities in terms of food and micronutrient provision, diversifying diets, reducing vulnerability to non-communicable diseases and overall health. However, the potential contribution of Wild Foods towards food security and dietary diversity in urban food systems has been largely overlooked. This study examined the contribution of Wild Foods to household dietary diversity in two towns in South Africa, based on a survey of 137 households. Household diets were quite diverse, with half (51%) having consumed ≥ 8 food groups, 39% consumed 6 or 7 food groups, and only 10% recorded ≤ 5 food groups in the previous 48 h. Wild Foods were prevalent across the sample, with 62% of the households consuming them to some degree. Wild vegetables and fruits were the most common Wild Foods, consumed by 96 and 79% of the households, respectively. Although Wild Foods had limited significance on overall dietary diversity, they exhibited substantial contributions within particular food groups. For example, the consumption of vegetables and oil and fats was most prevalent among households consuming Wild Foods than those who did not. The findings show that Wild Foods could contribute towards diversifying urban diets at a micro-level, within particular food groups consumed, such as vegetables and fruits. Hence, Wild Foods are important in ameliorating the monotonous diets of some households and in turn promoting dietary diversity.

food insecurity in south africa to what extent can social grants and consumption of Wild Foods eradicate hunger
World Development Perspectives, 2019Co-Authors: Gamuchirai Chakona, Charlie M. ShackletonAbstract:Abstract As the world continues to face widespread food insecurity, achieving food security for all at all times is increasingly complicated. In South Africa, social grants and the use of Wild Foods have been reported as some ways to improve household food insecurity and reduce poverty. The study examined if social grants and consumption of Wild Foods alleviate food insecurity in South Africa. Household surveys and focus group discussions were conducted along the rural-urban continuum in three South African towns situated along an agro-ecological gradient. We explored the differences in household food security indicators, mean monthly food expenditure and wealth index between households receiving social grants, households consuming Wild Foods, and those who did not. Households receiving social grants were more food insecure with lower mean monthly food expenditure and wealth index than those who did not. Overall all towns, the use of Wild Foods improved household food security which was not true within towns where Wild Foods were mostly consumed by low income and more food insecure households. Social grants alone cannot eradicate food insecurity as the money is not enough to cater for all household needs whilst Wild Foods can potentially alleviate household food insecurity. As food prices continue to increase gradually and worsening household food insecurity, ways to shift ‘income circumstances’ of households and promote the use and consumption of Wild Foods which may increase dietary diversity and diversifying food access. Focus should be placed on capacity building, employment creation and promoting awareness on own food production which is one way to improve food security of poor households rather than depending on purchases from the grant money alone.

Children and Wild Foods in the Context of Deforestation in Rural Malawi
Human Ecology, 2017Co-Authors: H. Maseko, Charlie M. Shackleton, J. Nagoli, D. PullanikkatilAbstract:There is growing recognition of the contribution of Wild Foods to local diets, nutrition, and culture. Yet disaggregation of understanding of Wild food use by gender and age is limited. We used a mixed methods approach to determine the types, frequencies, and perceptions of Wild Foods used and sold by children in four villages in southern Malawi that have different levels of deforestation. Household and individual dietary diversity scores are low at all sites. All households consume one or more Wild Foods. Across the four sites, children listed 119 Wild Foods, with a wider variety at the least deforested sites than the most deforested ones. Older children can name more Wild Foods than younger ones. More children from poor households sell Wild Foods than from well-off households. Several reasons were provided for the consumption or avoidance of Wild Foods (most commonly taste, contribution to health, limited alternatives, hunger, availability, local taboos).

use of Wild and cultivated Foods by chimpanzees at bossou republic of guinea feeding dynamics in a human influenced environment
American Journal of Primatology, 2009Co-Authors: Kimberley J Hockings, James R Anderson, Tetsuro MatsuzawaAbstract:Increased human population growth and more conversions of natural habitat to agricultural land have resulted in greater proximity between humans and nonhuman primate species. Consequent increases in resource competition including crop-raiding are a by-product of both natural resources becoming less available and the nutritional benefits of cultivated Foods becoming more known to the nonhuman primates. Chimpanzees at Bossou in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa, consume 17 different types of cultivated Foods that are grown extensively throughout their small, fragmented home range. Direct observations of feeding behavior conducted over an 18-month period revealed that during specific months crops account for up to one quarter of chimpanzee feeding time, with higher overall crop-raiding levels throughout the periods of Wild fruit scarcity. Some cultivated Foods, especially sugar fruits, are mostly fallback Foods, whereas others, such as rice pith (Oryza sp.) and maize (Zea mays), are consumed according to their availability even when Wild Foods are abundant. These findings highlight the importance of both crop choice by farmers and a thorough understanding of the ecology of resident primate species when establishing land management techniques for alleviating human–primate conflict.
