Why are farmers struggling to feed Africa?
“The cost of food will just go higher and higher, because farmers like myself cannot afford to invest in farming and can’t even have their capital back at the end of the season.”
More than 300 million people faced acute hunger in 2023 according to the World Food Programme. The UN body said this was caused by a number of issues including global warming, insecurity and conflict, and food and energy price inflation.
Africa is home to millions of small farmers who are key to feeding the continent… so what are the issues they’re facing and how can they be helped?
Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja speaks to two farmers: Crescentia Mushobozi, the founder of Tanzania Viable Farms, and Gabriel Eze, the founder of Rural Farmers Hub in Nigeria, who both work to improve the lives and yields of farmers.
With thanks to the African Food Systems Forum's 'GoGettaz Agripreneur Prize'.
