We have been researching what our forefathers consumed previously and have found that Indigenous African Foods offer a possible solution to alleviate the food crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa. There has been very little research on Indigenous African Foods from a nutritional value perspective. We are currently working on the characterization of common indigenous foods from Zimbabwe with emphasis on the protein, vitamin, oil, carbohydrate, and mineral content. Many indigenous recipes that were used previously have slowly become extinct and the African Food Revolution is working on research and documentation of Indigenous African Foods. We firmly believe that with local resource management, a food secure Africa is attainable. www.africanfoodrevolution.org
