African countries have become reliant on a few food items.
-
Just 20 plant species now provide 90% of our food, with three
- wheat,
- maize and
- rice
accounting for 60% of all calories consumed on the continent and globally.
- This deprives the continent of diverse food sources,
at the very time when research has found
massive food and nutrition insecurity in Africa.
- By 2020, about 20% of the continent’s population (281.6 million) faced hunger.
- This figure is likely to have increased,
- given the impacts of successive droughts, floods and COVID-19.
Yet historically, Africa had
- 30,000 edible plant species, and - 7,000 were traditionally cultivated or foraged for food.
The continent is a treasure trove of agrobiodiversity (a diversity of types of crops and animals) and
- its countries could easily feed themselves.

Reportage der New York Times über Veränderungen in der reisproduktion, die vor allem durch die globale Erhitzung erzwungen werden. Aber auch die hohen methanemissionen und ökologische Veränderungen durch den Wasserverbrauch für die reiseproduktion wirken sich aus. Insgesamt gefährdet die Klimakatastrophe gerade in Bezug auf Reis die Lebensmittelsicherheit. Konzerne versuchen durch die Entwicklung von Gentechnik von dieser Situation zu profitieren. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/20/climate/rice-farming-climate-change.html
