Nutrition knowledge of educators in primary schools in Makhuthamaga Municipality in Limpopo ProvinceMagoai, Matlou Martina 20 September 2019 (has links)
MSCPNT / Department of Nutrition / Introduction: Nutrition education is the change process whereby beliefs, attitudes,
environmental influences, and understanding about food lead to nutrition practices that are
scientifically sound, practical, and consistent with individual needs and available resources
Design and Methods: The purpose of this study was to assess the nutrition knowledge of
educators in Makhuduthamaga municipality, Limpopo Province. Quantitative, descriptive,
and exploratory research was conducted to determine the factors that influence the nutrition
knowledge of educators and explore the relationship between factors and nutrition
knowledge. The simple random sampling technique was employed to select 200 educators in
grades 4, 5, and 6. Data collection was done using structured questionnaires. The data was
analysed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS), version 21.
Results and Discussion: Of the educators who participated in the study, 66.5% were female,
and 33.5% were males. Almost all (94%) of the educators were trained at a college and had
teaching experience of between 21-30 years. Most of the educators (60.5%) had a diploma,
while 0.5% had a master’s degree. Almost one third of educators indicated that children
should eat three (3) times during the day, and 32% identified the important meals as
breakfast, lunch, and supper. Most (36.5%) failed to give reasons why children should not
skip meals. In terms of basic food and nutrition, majority of the educators (75%, 67%, 56%,
and 55.5%) responded correctly on the importance of carbohydrates, fat, vegetables, and
fruits, respectively. Only a quarter (26%) knew the importance of protein, while 75.5% knew
that protein forms part of a balanced diet. Most of the educators knew the rich sources of
vitamin A and fibre but did not know the rich sources of iron, iodine, and vitamin C. There
was no significant difference between the level of education and nutrition knowledge (p=
0.129), and between training institution and nutrition knowledge (p= 0.534).
Conclusion: The need to train educators on nutrition was one of the main recommendations
that emanated from many research projects. Most educators mentioned that training and level
of education were of the factors that affected their nutrition knowledge. Nutrition knowledge
is becoming increasingly important in food choices and in this study educators acknowledged
that training affected their nutrition knowledge. / NRF

The impact of women's food security projects : a case of Ntsako and Jopi Villages in Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Limpopo ProvinceBaloyi, Ishmael Yingisani January 2016 (has links)
Thesis (M.Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2016 / This dissertation describes a study undertaken in Limpopo Province and is based on the
LADEP Project which was created through an established working partnership of the
Finnish government and LDA extension services. The study aimed to assess the impact
of women food security projects on household food security. For many poor people
globally, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa, food security continues to be a challenge
today. The poverty levels and increase in the prevalence of the HIV/AIDS pandemic,
reduced rainfall accompanied by changing climatic patterns, environmental degradation,
the complexities associated with urbanization, globalization as well as technology shift
in the agricultural sector and capitalistic market economies all play a role in the food
security crisis.
The study investigated the dynamics of food security in two villages in Limpopo
Province: Jopi and Ntsako. This research has highlighted some of the factors that
influence food economy and food security of poor rural dwellers. Achieving household
food security for poor rural households requires an integrated approach in terms of
poverty eradication as well as deliberate efforts with regards to food production and
distribution within a framework of ecological integrity, with an aim of empowering the
poor and ensuring that their household food security is guaranteed. The basic finding,
and the one which impacts directly on the household food security of Jopi and Ntsako
projects is that the majority of the people in these village depend on government
grants, and are therefore classified as poor. However, as a survival mechanism, some
women with experience in agriculture have resorted to farming, as well as initiating
group farming projects to improve their socio-economic situation. Given the threats to
sustainability of these projects, the study recommends that the government to mobilize
financial resources to support the activities of these projects. There is also an increased
demand for more training on various aspects of management and production for
members to maximize output. The study also identifies the significance of a continuous
monitoring and evaluation of projects on a regular basis.

The effectiveness of the 'fetsa tlala' initiative in improving food security of women smallholder farmers : a case of Semaneng Village, Polokwane Local MunicipalityTefu, Kgabo Maureen January 2022 (has links)
Thesis (M.Dev. (Planning and Management)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / Development projects, including the Fetša Tlala Initiative, were designed to contribute to the
National Development Plan, 2030. The objectives of this research assessed how effective
the Fetša Tlala project was in improving food and nutrition security of women farmers and
the degree of empowerment the project afforded them. A semi-structured interview guide
was applied to 16 purposefully selected respondents during face-to-face interviews as the
data collection method. The findings indicated that physical resources provided to beneficiaries
contributed to the effectiveness of the project. However, the inconsistent institutional support provided
by the project initiators were considered to detract from the effectiveness. The findings also revealed
that the beneficiaries were empowered by the opportunities afforded through the initiative, but were
further empowered by their own resilience in the face of adversity. The study concludes by
recommending the continuation of the project with improved institutional support.
