Official introduction

Discussion context

AI · Afya
Why this matters: Sourcing affects price, quality, resilience, identity and producer livelihoods. The central tension is between supporting local supply and using imported variety and consistency. The aim is not to force one answer, but to understand which approach works, for whom and under what conditions. Discussion safeguard: Emphasise food hygiene and allergy awareness. Nutrition discussion is general and should not replace individual medical or dietetic advice.
