The FEED Programme
Food & Trees for Africa launches Farmer Eco-Enterprise Development Programme (FEED AFRICA)The global crisis in food prices has made substantial headlines, obviating the need for detailing its severity. Suffice to say global maize and wheat prices have soared by up to 80% in the last year, and the price of rice has doubled. One billion on the planet are already severely malnourished and food riots are increasing globally. Food insecurity is thus acknowledged, as is the fact that the poor are being hit hardest, particularly in Africa.
