AFSA (Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa) recently published a so called Barefoot Guide, focusing on how growing and eating healthy food can help you in dealing with COVID-19. Nutritious, wholesome and healthy food helps you to be physically strong and strengthen your immune system. When you get infected, a healthy body will help you to recover sooner.

Of course, it is always better not to catch the virus at all, so the guide also explains what COVID is and what measures you should take to avoid getting infected. But most of all, the guide encourages African farmers to look back at traditions and combine these with new, organic and innovative methods to continue growing healthy food. For themselves and their communities. The guide is available for free by clicking here.
