Dr. Edward Ayensu explains that, although one-third of the land in Africa is
suitable for agriculture, much of Africa is dependent on food aid. He shows how
aid from Western nations may actually undermine the ability of African nations
to become self-sufficient in food production, identifies factors that impede
self-sufficiency, and presents strategies that encourage independence through
greater agricultural productivity, more efficient processing and distribution
systems, and reliance on indigenous food crops.
