• Creating awareness on the rich nutritional value and healthy-living support capacity that our indigenous foods offer;
• Promote the uptake in production of indigenous food crops as a climate adaptation measure;
• Present an avenue for stakeholders in the indigenous food value chain to market and promote our foods, demonstrating the commercial value of our indigenous foods;
