“…Zimbabwe recorded a high number of almost 100,000 cases in 2009, and more recently, Malawi reported 54,841 cases in the period 2022-2023. These food-borne diseases represent significant public health challenges in Africa, necessitating comprehensive efforts to enhance food safety and reduce their impact on human health (Anelich & Lues, 2023).…”

“…Furthermore, the problem of electricity outages affects millions of households in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Food processing industries in the region suffer from a low availability rating of 20%, while some countries such as Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia, Senegal, and South Africa have better ratings above 50% (Anelich & Lues, 2023; Castellano et al, 2015).…”

Integrating climate change, food safety, nutrition, and health outcomes in food systems policies and programs is crucial for addressing the multifaceted challenges African countries encounter. Climate change significantly impacts food production, food safety, and the provision of nutritious and healthy diets. Existing interventionist policies in Africa have not taken a comprehensive approach to addressing the bidirectional relationships among climate change, food safety, nutrition, and health outcomes. This hinders the formulation of comprehensive policies and programs that effectively address these interconnected issues. Also, limited evidence supports understanding the interplay among climate change, food safety, nutrition, and health outcomes within the African context. Thus, the study explores the pathways of interlinkages and complementarities among these factors and identifies the barriers to their effective implementation. In achieving its objective, this study adopts a food systems approach to examine the interrelaionships among climate change, food safety, nutrition, and health programs and policies. The study uses a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and empirical data to better understand these interrelationships within the food system. By identifying the interdependencies, the study is relevant for the development of integrative policies and programs that address these interconnected issues.Á
