The Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) has called for adopting sustainable agriculture to provide affordable, accessible, safe food for everyone.

The organisation made the call as it joined the global community in celebrating World Food Day today.

In a statement, CCZ president Ms Rosemary Mpofu said: “This year’s theme, ‘The right to food for a better life and a better future’ underscores the critical role of food security in promoting human well-being.”

Ms Mpofu highlighted the challenges posed by counterfeit food products in Zimbabwe.

“We urge consumers to be vigilant and report any suspected counterfeit food items. Safe food is essential for our health and well-being,” she said.

To commemorate World Food Day, CCZ is organising consumer action clubs across the country.

These clubs will raise awareness about food safety and the importance of sustainable agriculture.

CCZ aims to contribute to a more just and equitable society by advocating for the right to food and promoting food safety.
