Abstract
Many factors result in a shift in food consumption patterns. These include uncertain food production, unequal food distribution, changing food markets, food inflation and fast urbanization (Cockx et al., 2019). All of the above have been prevalent in the past decades and are still persistent today. These factors have not only intensified but have shown a rise in food related health issues and issues of food insecurity.
