Over the past years, immense efforts have been made by the
governments, stakeholders, non-governmental organizations and reputable
international bodies to end hunger crisis and curtail food insecurity most
African countries are confronted with. According to the Food and Agricultural
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, about 153 million people suffered
from severe food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa.
Millions of people especially in the rural areas have died as a
result of chronic starvation, and putting others at great risk of suffering
from the famine in drought-prone areas while many have been displaced and
become refugees in faraway regions in desperate search for food and to secure
their livelihoods.
