Harnessing Indigenous Knowledge for Good Health in Africa and Beyond
Description
In this episode, Shami is joined by Rumbi Trish Chitsa and Dr Michael Bhebhe in a conversation on the use of traditional foods, fruits and herbs. The trio touch on various issues including unravelling the idea of certain traditional foods being viewed as "poor man's food", yet they have been eaten for centuries in the country and are in fact highly nutritious. Rumbi and Dr Mike also share on the work they have been involved in as far as increasing people's knowledge and use of traditional foods is concerned.
