The world needs to produce more food to fuel this demand and Africa food security is set to play a major role. This report outlines how the collapse in global oil prices, a US$35bn continent-wide, structural food deficit and huge potential to lift output and productivity, have forced food security and agricultural development to the top of the political and economic agenda worldwide. The report considers food security across Africa with particular emphasis on the policies of nine African countries: Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Sierra.
