Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Nutritional Science, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück, language: English, abstract: Abstract English:Particularly in developing countries nearly one billion people are effected by nutrition insecurity in form of under- or malnutrition (FAO 2010, p. 1). Merely by the expression of vitamin A-deficiency an estimate of up to 500,000 children go blind worldwide every year (WHO 2011). This bachelor thesis deals with a solu-tion approach in form of the contribution made by the orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) and its afford towards nutrition security in rural areas of Mwanza, Tanzania. With help of the partner organization TAHEA, a retrospective population-based study of the nutritional status of rural population of Mwanza was conducted and impressions on food security were reinforced through participant observation. The positive influence of OFSP towards vitamin A status has been confirmed and among others an income-generating function by cultivation and sale of the tuber has been observed. The risk of a possible overdose must also be considered. Thus, the tuber is recommended as a nutritious snack or side dish, but should not be advertised as a considered staple food.Abstract Deutsch:Aktuell sind besonders in Entwicklungsländern nahezu eine Milliarde Menschen von Ernährungsunsicherheit in Form von Unter- oder Mangelernährung betroffen (FAO 2010, p. 1). Allein durch die Ausprägung eines Vitamin A-Mangels, erblinden Schätzungen zufolge weltweit jährlich bis zu 500.000 Kinder (WHO 2011). Diese Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit einem Lösungsansatz in Form des Beitrags, den die orange-fleischige Süßkartoffel (OFSP) zur Ernährungssicherheit in ländlichen Gebieten von Mwanza, Tansania, leistet und leisten kann. Mit Hilfe der Partnerorganisation TAHEA wurde durch eine retrospektive Stichproben-Studie der Ernährungszustand der ländlichen Bevölkerung Mwanzas erfasst und Eindrücke zum Thema Ernährungssicherheit durch teilnehmende Beobachtungen untermauert. Der positive Einfluss der OFSP auf die Vitamin A-Versorgung wurde bestätigt und unter anderem eine einkommensbildende Funktion durch Kultivierung und Verkauf der Knolle beobachtet. Doch auch die Gefahr einer möglichen Überdosierung muss beachtet werden. Somit empfiehlt sich die Knolle als nährstoffreiche Zwischenmahlzeit oder Beilage, sollte aber nicht als täglich zu verzehrendes Grundnahrungsmittel beworben werden.
