Fantastic article! Watched a series recently that addressed how many restaurants around the globe do not support local producers as the food is sometimes “blemished” and that they would rather incur greater costs on imported produce that is less fresh and less tasty. If restauranteurs are happily doing this, can you only imagine what the supply and demand for perfect produce is like with the general consumer? This is where education is key to help prevent food wastage! Inspiringly though, local South African businesses like Yebo Fresh in Cape Town have been trying to address servicing those less fortunate with food parcels and affordable groceries delivered directly to their doorsteps. COVID saw a greater need to support those who had no infrastructure to order food to their homes. It’s businesses like these that should be praised for the hard work and dedication they put into addressing the very real food crisis that South Africa faces today .
Fabulous read again
