Being in nature has benefits for people, as studies have shown. There’s ample evidence that experiences of nature have positive physical and psychological outcomes. But these insights have largely come from the Global North. There’s very little research on how urban communities in the Global South experience or view urban nature.
A recently published book we co-edited, Urban Nature Enriching Belonging, Wellbeing and Bioculture, fills this gap. It highlights the diversity of experiences that people may have when interacting with nature in urban areas.

Around the world more and more people are taking an interested in plant-based diets and a vegan lifestyle, but in meat-loving South Africa the idea of ditching meat might sound like an unrealistic idea. The thing is that most of the media talking about vegan diets is either focusing on the reasons that someone might want to eat less meat - like health, environmental and ethical concerns - or focusing on niche health issues and products. Judging by the queries we get, and the responses we see to messaging like this, what the public wants to know more about is the how - especially how to start out, and perhaps most importantly, how to make sure they're going to enjoy the food!
One area of 'how' that has been getting media attention is meat replacements; but again the focus of this coverage has been on why there has been such a huge increase in availability and interest in these products - with much less information on what they are, which ones actually taste nice, and where South Africans can get hold of them.

To some people an ante nuptial agreement seems like a sign of mistrust between partners. In fact, it gives a couple the opportunities to agree on their financial future and how their assets and gains will be distributed or divided when their marriage comes to an end because of death or divorce. It also prevents the marriage from automatically being one of in community of property.
An ante nuptial agreement is entered into where couples do not want to get married in community of property and is concluded before marriage. An ante nuptial agreement might be especially important for someone who already has assets like a business, or family obligations like children from a previous marriage.
