Emerging issues in science and technology for food security and sustainable development in Africa : sustainable development division August 2003
Africa is experiencing chronic food shortage as subsistence food production fails to meet consumption needs of a growing population. There is variability of food supply throughout the year, inability to purchase food because of low income and pervasive poverty among the majority of the people, and ineffective methods in using available resources due to application of inferior technologies in agricultural production. Clearly, current production methods and technologies cannot solve the immense food insecurity problems in Africa even if more land is brought under cultivation.
