I-ONE FOOD: ISETI YEMITHOMBO YAMAFAMA IMELANA NEMOZULU, IINDIDI ZEZITYALO NEZILWANYANA EZAHLUKENEYO, IKHUSELEKILE KWAYE IZINZILE

This guide, published by WWF South Africa in 2020, introduces the 'One Food' approach to sustainable food production. It promotes agroecology and nature-based solutions to help farmers manage risks related to climate change, biodiversity loss, and livestock management while ensuring long-term food security and environmental health.

• The 'One Food' approach is a holistic framework that integrates human, animal, and environmental health to identify risks and promote sustainable food production while maintaining a healthy natural environment.
• Unmanaged food systems create significant risks, including animal-related medicine pollution, agricultural and livestock diseases, invasive alien plants, and human-caused wildfires that damage farmland.
• Livestock farming presents environmental challenges; overgrazing weakens the soil and reduces carbon sequestration, while uncontrolled burning degrades the land. Recommended mitigations include rotating grazing areas, using targeted weeding instead of frequent burning, and managing waste away from water sources.
• Agroecology is presented as a farming method that combines science, indigenous knowledge, and community beliefs to produce food sustainably. Key practices include crop rotation, intercropping, agroforestry, and using compost instead of chemical fertilizers to improve soil health and water retention.
• Farmers face climate-related challenges including increased heat, instability, floods, and human-caused fires. The document suggests planting trees and shrubs as windbreaks, using raised beds for drainage during floods, and studying weather patterns to optimize planting times.
