Hope in the garden: The special role of vegetables in fighting HIV/AIDS

It is hard to comprehend the devastation that HIV/AIDS is having on the social and economic development of Africa. And, this devastation is just beginning. The number of HIV/AIDS cases per year in southern Africa will double by 2020. In 2020, there will be almost 10 million AIDS orphans in southern Africa.1

Scientists are now realizing that a vegetable-rich diet can bolster the immune system and help it to fight against the disease. To be clear, vegetables are not a magic bullet—vegetables cannot cure people who are dying from HIV/AIDS—but vegetables can help infected people to enjoy longer, more productive lives.2 AVRDC is actively promoting gardening programs for families and orphans suffering from the HIV/AIDS crisis.

With regard to HIV/AIDS transmission, there is general agreement among public health experts that the use of condoms, abstinence, and other “safe sex” measures are essential in reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS. But in a broader sense, healthy diets and empowered women can also reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS—and this is where vegetables make a life-saving difference.

Studies show that well-nourished mothers are less likely to transmit HIV to their children.3 This is of great importance since 55% HIV/AIDS cases in Africa are children.4 Furthermore, mounting evidence indicates that early HIV/AIDS infection is linked with dietary deficiencies of vitamin A and zinc, nutrients that can be obtained from vegetables.5

The empowerment of women, the primary producers of vegetables in Africa, may also reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. Women are biologically and socio-economically more at risk of HIV infection than men. Their risk of becoming infected during unprotected intercourse is two to four times higher than it is for men. Women generally cannot require protection such as condoms, and may feel obliged to trade sex for food or money due to lack of economic opportunities.6

Vegetable production creates jobs—more jobs than cereal-based crops. The economic opportunities generated by vegetable production and related industries can empower women, making them less vulnerable to involuntary HIV/AIDS infection.

An abundant supply of vegetables in Africa will save lives. More than ever, AVRDC is dedicated to working with its partners to make vegetables accessible to all families.
