Food for Thought: Food Indaba 2024 Sparks Fresh Dialogues

Posted on by

Good or bad, delicious or bitter, the kitchen table is where food, economics and politics often meet – and for the past ten years, Food Dialogues has been exploring this in our complex food system in unconventional, educational and fun ways. This year, with a new name reflective of its roots and group dynamic, Food Indaba 2024 is taking place from Monday 22 July to Sunday 04 August with various events at venues across Cape Town, including the V&A Waterfront precinct, Mowbray, Langa, Philippi, Lynedoch and Stellenbosch.

Food Indaba features a range of events, both ticketed and free. Many are open to the public, while some, which are geared more toward academic and industry audiences, are by invitation only. One of the informative free events for all to attend is the Pan African Webinar hosted by Afrifoodlinks. The online webinar titled Power and Hunger is a significant discussion about the weaponising of hunger. The annual in person conference with the same title, for the first time this year, will be a full day affair and will see the D-School (UCT’s design school) creating a Design-Dash, which is a design thinking problem solving toolkit around the solutions to food issues.

Laager Plus CBD-Infused Rooibos Tea

Posted on by

I got a a press drop from Laager Rooibos tea to promote their new CBD range.

I’ve been taking CBD drops, off and on, in my regular rooibos tea and so I was keen to try this new range which focuses on SLEEP and RELAXATION.

Talking of sleeping, I have a serious lack thereof, being in peri-menapause. Hence, my excitement to especially try this new CBD SLEEP Rooibos range.

The long-term health benefits of the South African-grown Rooibos tea have gained worldwide attention, and with CBD’s incredible health benefits now in the spotlight, Laager Rooibos is fusing the two to bring the country a daily dose of goodness!
