When the Russia-Ukraine war started last year, one of the key concerns for the African continent was that of food insecurity. Ukraine’s food exports such as wheat, barley, and sunflower oil would feed 400 million people worldwide.
The conflict brought to the fore how food insecurity can be fuelled by several issues, including conflict, climate change, and poor governance within countries.
Food insecurity has been particularly of huge concern for the African continent where the number of undernourished people has continued to rise over the last 35 years.
