Abstract

How Africa Eats: Trade, Food Security and Climate Risks examines why food insecurity is so prevalent in Africa and how a confluence of factors (including trade and agriculture policies and climate change) shape the issue. In this extract from the introduction to the book, editor David Luke traces how and why food deprivation has deepened over the past decade, including inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
