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 supplier will map the national aquatic food systems in South Africa, to form the basis for future in-depth research on hazards and control.
The mapping will:
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).
ii. Describe the volume of domestic consumption verses export.
iii. Describe post-harvest losses throughout the value chain.
iv. Provide an understanding of how the aquatic 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. Identify elements of the food systems that cannot be adequately mapped due to insufficient data availability.
vi. Catalogue the key organisations (companies, public and private organisations), and others (e.g. co-operatives, individual farms) involved.
vii. Describe known or estimated greenhouse gas emissions of food production within each aquatic food production system.
viii. Indicate which elements of the aquatic food systems are (1) essential to SA's national food security, (2) the mainstay of family s subsistence, (3) essential to the country's food exports, and/or (4) emerging alternatives to dominant aquatic foods.
This is a Direct Award to the supplier following a failed open tender process where no bids were received.
