Notice Title

CEFAS22-72 RFQ for mapping of crop food sector in South Africa under the OneFood Project

Notice Description

Over the past 5 years Cefas and other UK partners have been working with governments, academia, and NGOs (Non-Government Organisations) in Official Development Assistance (ODA) countries to develop improved capacity in aquatic animal health, Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), environmental protection, food safety and security, collectively under the banner of One Health. Cefas and APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) are now coordinating a UK ODA research and development project that aims to develop a risk analysis tool that places hazard identification and control at the heart of sustainable food system design. The requirement is to map the national crop food systems in South Africa (SA), to form the basis for future in-depth research on hazards and control. The mapping should: i. Describe the following activities: input supply, production, processing, by-products and waste disposal up to the point of retail/export (or the point of consumption in the case of subsistence production). ii. Catalogue the key organisations (companies, public and private organisations), and others (e.g. co-operatives, individual farms) involved. iii. Describe the volume of domestic consumption verses export. iv. Provide an understanding of how the crop food systems are embedded in geographical spaces and ecosystems in SA and shed light on their natural resource base, including the biodiversity and habitats occurring within the footprint of the food systems. v. Describe known or estimated greenhouse gas emissions of food production within each crop food production system. vi. Indicate which elements of the crop food systems are (1) essential to SA's national food security, (2) the mainstay of family subsistence, (3) essential to the country's food exports, and/or (4) an emerging alternative to dominant crop foods. vii. Essential - Identify elements of the food systems that cannot be adequately mapped due to insufficient recording of production or sales.
