insecurity is persistent in Malawi, even during years of high food productivity. Generally, Malawians make their food choices based on faith, culture and local traditions.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional prescriptions constrain most Christians in Malawi regarding what should be consumed and, more importantly, how food should be produced and processed. Muslims adhere to halal food regulations. These practices have significantly influenced the availability of food, which in turn influences the health and well-being of individuals. This influence extends from food production to accessibility, diet, preferences and stability. In a country where food and resources are scarce, food and nutrition security cannot be adequately addressed without considering cultural and religious practices.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Dorothy Tembo\u2019s Future Africa Research Leader Fellowship (FAR-LeaF) research project is titled \u2018Faith and food in rural Malawi\u2019. Theological and religious studies are not done in a vacuum; instead, they aim to improve people\u2019s lives. Food insecurity is a multifaceted problem that can adversely affect human well-being, including child and maternal health, the quality of children\u2019s education, and family participation in productive work. This situation threatens the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>The multidimensional nature of culture and religion means that plans for achieving household food and nutrition security will be successful only if these underlying causes are adequately understood and included in national policies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_cell_one_half-0778e7d338433c1d9d2a4436509fcc48\">\n.flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_half-0778e7d338433c1d9d2a4436509fcc48{\nvertical-align:top;\nbackground-color:#f8f8f8;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-av_cell_one_half-0778e7d338433c1d9d2a4436509fcc48 av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  content-align-top'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-724e29f1d72ca26394d8119dc5adb5f9 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic left-to-right  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lyln2d0r-f37c8e7e8c8fffb00818fb5d935441b0\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lyln2d0r-f37c8e7e8c8fffb00818fb5d935441b0 .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:justify;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lyln2d0r-f37c8e7e8c8fffb00818fb5d935441b0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Dr Tembo will evaluate the similarities and differences in food and nutrition security between Islamic, Christian and indigenous beliefs and practices, and critically investigate how local diets can prevent malnutrition. The study will also explore how ideas govern critical phases of human life, such as pregnancy and infancy. Dr Tembo\u2019s approach draws from cultural studies, religion and human ecology to understand the intersection between religion and culture and food systems as sites for negotiations rather than as competing forces.<\/p>\n<p><strong><small>Dr Dorothy Tembo is a senior lecturer in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Malawi. She holds a PhD in Religions from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London; a master\u2019s from the same university; and a BA from the University of Malawi, Chancellor College. Her work explores the interaction of Christianity and culture in African communities to determine the extent to which religious belief, culture and traditions may be considered as agents of social change.<\/small><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='flex_column_table av-av_three_fifth-b40918d7eb29fabc4ed6d787f2e092d0 sc-av_three_fifth av-break-at-tablet-flextable av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_three_fifth-b40918d7eb29fabc4ed6d787f2e092d0\">\n.flex_column.av-av_three_fifth-b40918d7eb29fabc4ed6d787f2e092d0{\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_three_fifth-b40918d7eb29fabc4ed6d787f2e092d0 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_two_fifth  first no_margin av-break-at-tablet flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-animated-generic left-to-right av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lyln2pjk-57cb97daf635df9fbe86c844af088630\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lyln2pjk-57cb97daf635df9fbe86c844af088630 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lyln2pjk-57cb97daf635df9fbe86c844af088630 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lyln2pjk-57cb97daf635df9fbe86c844af088630 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-189 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-189 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.futureafrica.science\/farleaf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Dorothy-01.jpg\" alt='' title=''  height=\"338\" width=\"600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.futureafrica.science\/farleaf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Dorothy-01.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.futureafrica.science\/farleaf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Dorothy-01-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_two_fifth-0dd859e177ac684dcfebed49eaaaf342\">\n.flex_column.av-av_two_fifth-0dd859e177ac684dcfebed49eaaaf342{\npadding:15px 15px 15px 15px;\nbackground-color:#1a78bd;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n.flex_column.av-av_two_fifth-0dd859e177ac684dcfebed49eaaaf342{\npadding:15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n.flex_column.av-av_two_fifth-0dd859e177ac684dcfebed49eaaaf342{\npadding:15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_two_fifth-0dd859e177ac684dcfebed49eaaaf342 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  no_margin av-break-at-tablet flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-animated-generic left-to-right  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lyln2yvj-1d47ebbe9b49dc344cbd837b0c229d50\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lyln2yvj-1d47ebbe9b49dc344cbd837b0c229d50 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#ffffff;\ntext-align:justify;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lyln2yvj-1d47ebbe9b49dc344cbd837b0c229d50 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dr Dorothy Tembo <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">FAR-LEAF Research Fellow<br \/>\nUniversity of Malawi<br \/>\n<strong>Malawi <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
