 We've been conducting research on how people use forest foods in five sites in Africa. In Burkina Faso, Zambia, Cameroon, Uganda and Ethiopia. We want to know what are people eating, where does it come from, what does it mean for food security and nutrition. What we found so far is that people who live near forests in these countries tend to have healthy, diverse diets. Despite the fact that most of the people at these sites are very poor, their forest landscapes give them access to a great variety of fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and leafy greens. These types of foods are rich in micronutrients. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals. A lack of micronutrients can lead to malnutrition, disease or even death. In fact, there are more people in the world suffering from micronutrient deficiencies than from hunger. Sustainable forest landscapes can be part of the solution. We hope that a better understanding of the connections between forests and food can help us manage more sustainable landscapes and support a healthy future for all.
