Food Insecurity? in the South: Some Possible Breaking Points Augustine O Afullo 1. izdevums

This text encourages policy makers and farmers to use the drought resistant crops to face food security as an agribusiness. Due to failed rains, peasant farmers literally throw their resources annually into fields which yield nothing...courtesy of their attempt to look civilized by planting crops which non-primitive people associate with. If they produce the crops matching the climate of the areas...before they have access to irrigation..they will be sure to produce annually..and every season..and avoid the heavcy dependency ratio which has dragged the African from saving, investing and moving forward. Due to repeated crop failures, people remain malnourished, and the opportunistic diseases such as HIV / AIDS become more prevalent, and / or cause worse consequences
