Image of BC 9E: More and Better Food. Farming, climate change, health and the AIDS epidemic

This 88-page manual, no. 9 in the CALLED TO CARE toolkit, demonstrates how small-scale farmers, using organic techniques, can grow more food in sustainable ways that also address the challenge of climate change. The book is of particular relevance to people living with HIV, for whom good nutrition is just as important as medical care. In sub-Saharan Africa most people living with HIV suffer from food and nutrition insecurity. Written in clear, simple language, More and Better Food presents basic information about food and health, managing soil and water, and improving productivity through organic farming methods. It contains numerous exercises to enable people to learn new farming techniques through practical activities, and is illustrated with line drawings. Note: The CALLED TO CARE toolkit consists of practical, action-oriented workbooks on various aspects of HIV and AIDS, designed mainly for use with churches and community groups in sub-Saharan Africa but applicable elsewhere as well.
