Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990. Produced by the Task Force on African Famine of the American Anthropological Association, this is the first of a multi-part project dealing with the long-term and ongoing food crisis in Africa primarily at the level of local production-the microperspective. It offers a series of anthropological and ecological views on the cause of the current problem and on coping strategies used by both indigenous people and developmental planners. The three sections of this volume review current explanations for food problems in Africa, focusing mainly on production and consumption at the household level; they offer a number of perspectives on the environmental, historical, political, and economic contexts for food stress, and include a series of case studies showing the ways in which Africans have responded to the threat of drought and hunger. The extent of research and the degree of scholarship involved in the production of this volume recommend it to all persons concerned with this ultimately global dilemma, particularly those involved in planning and relief efforts.

Book excerpt: From the Introduction: When U.S. citizens become aware of the continent of Africa through our media, it is frequently in the context of food shortage or famine. Usually, the response is immediate and generous as we join the world community in helping to alleviate hunger. However, when the emergency passes, the tendency is for our attention to wander to the next major news story. Not many linger to ask why such critical hunger still exists in a world capable of feeding all its citizens. Not many continue to ask whether these precious lives could have been spared. As the second largest and second most populated continent in the world, Africa accounts for a quarter of the land surface of the earth and ten per cent of its population. By the turn of the 21st century, it is estimated that the population will have doubled. How will Africa feed and sustain these millions? At the present time (1990) it is estimated that nearly four million Africans in Ethiopia, Sudan and Angola are at critical risk of starvation due to a tragic combination of civil unrest, drought and crop failure. Millions more face chronic malnutrition daily. How will these deaths be prevented? In order for us to assist in the movement toward African food security, we need to find the answers to these critical questions. In this paper, the authors, Mutombo Mpanya and David Holdridge, explain what, in their view, are some of the causes of hunger in Africa. In the first four sessions, Mpanya describes he ecological, historical, political and economic causes of food scarcity on the continent. We discover that hunger is not simply the result of drought and natural disasters, but the tragic result of human decisions and actions. Only through human will, can we ever hope to end it. In the final session, Holdridge outlines the current situation and the challenges that Africans and all of us must still confront in order to eliminate hunger from the continent.

Download or read book African Food Systems in Crisis written by Rebecca Huss-Ashmore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991. Commissioned by the Task Force on African Famine of the American Anthropological Association, this the second part of a project examining the causes of food system failure in Africa and the effects of attempts to remedy the situation. It evaluates the often-retrogressive results of foreign aid to African nations and offers an anthropological perspective on how to reverse this trend. The contributors emphasize integrating all development programs with the regional customs and traditions already in place that have thus far allowed its people to cope with food and water shortages. In the past, various strategies have failed due to misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions concerning gender roles, food consumption habits, social relations, kinship networks, land use and government function. New understanding of the culture must be complemented with multifaceted programs incorporating education, a concern for grass-roots opinion and control, attention to production and consumption patterns, and various forms of broad-spectrum integrated development. The uniqueness research is recommended for all who are concerned about worldwide malnutrition and those who understand the need to recognize local traditions as resources that must be included in any successful development program.
Book Synopsis Root Causes of the Food Crisis by : Guy Blaise Nkamleu
Download or read book Root Causes of the Food Crisis written by Guy Blaise Nkamleu and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the past decades, the performance of the agricultural sector in Africa and particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been distressing. Rapid annual population growth has led to declining per-capita food production and consumption levels and incomes have not risen fast enough to permit market imports to offset the decline. More alarming, the prognosis for the immediate future is quite bleak. The recent food crisis has again drawn attention to the African tragedy and exposed the fragility of sub-Saharan agricultural and economic progress. Though some of the effects are no longer visible, the food crisis is still a sword of Damocles hanging over Africa's head. Africa has experienced food crisis in the past and there is no reason to believe that there will be no more food crisis in the future, for its root causes have not been addressed: technological progress and productivity growth. This book explores the missing links in the technology transfer segment of the innovation-diffusion-utilization complex. The text also critically reviews the current state of knowledge and research, examines the main drivers of technology adoption in African agriculture, and explores the causes of success and failure in technology dissemination."--Pub. desc.
