Book Description
Climate change as a subject of debate has moved from the realms of if it is a reality to what rate it is occurring. Anthropogenic footprints on the phenomenon have been a subject of scientific studies for decades with agriculture shown to be one of the leading contributors. Sub-Saharan Africa faces a precarious food situation and addressing it has naturally become a top priority of the region. This only means there should be an intensification in agricultural activities which has the potential to accelerate climate change considering the impacts of Green Revolution in Asia and Latin America. However, modern scientific studies and observation of improvement in advanced agricultural systems have proven some practices as with the potential to increase agricultural productivity while mitigating green house gas (GHG) emissions. Proper adoption of some of the practices as identified in the content to sub-Sahara African setting has the potential to reduce food insecurity in region while reducing the fear of exacerbating the impacts on climate.

Book Description
New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
