We have highlighted a special feature on the University’s key role in the concerted global initiatives in the fight against COVID-19.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON FOOD SYSTEMS AND EFFECTS ON FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY

Prof. Linus Opara from the University of Stellenbosch delivered key address in the virtual webinar that was held on October 7, 2020. He challenged attendees to look forward and gear towards improvement of food security. He indicated that the pandemic has exposed a lot of things and that we also need to think of food sovereignty apart form nutrition and food security.
