Can We Adequately and Nutritionally Feed Ourselves? Give Your Contribution

Food and Nutrition security is of great concern and a challenge which is becoming very evasive to solve or handle globally and yet in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 food is a rights issue.  The level of hunger and malnutrition in the world today is worrying and this is going to become more serious in the presence of climate change. Technocrats at global level and development partners are making efforts to tackle this challenge. Hunger and malnutrition should be considered as a developmental issue.

At some quarters there is a belief emerging that the world has adequate food and that we should concentrate our efforts elsewhere to be able to feed ourselves. Current global population is about 7 billion and expected to reach just above 9 billion by 2050. Give your contribution on this issue of food and nutrition security or just on hunger and malnutrition and how we can manage this problem whether at national, regional or global level.

Yes we can! Our leaders just need to get their priorities right and focus on developing and implementing policies that make farming an alternative source of employment for our youth.
