World Food Day 2020 celebrates the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s 75th anniversary during an exceptional time when countries are dealing with the widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this podcast, Mary-Jane Morifi, Chief Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer at Tiger Brands, reflects on some of the lessons learnt in navigating a pandemic that severely impacted the food security of many South Africans.
She also pays tribute to our food heroes - the farmers, food manufacturing and delivery workers and all other workers throughout the food system - who made it their purpose to ensure that all South Africans had access to food during all levels of the national lockdown.
